Interesting Soyo KT266 board....integrated 6 channel sound with optical inputs and daughter card.

I just saw a review of this new Soyo board with the KT266 chipset...the K7V Dragon. It looks good and the specs are pretty nice as well. Check it out here.

Looks pretty good to me, We need some reviews, a 6 channel sound card, sweet

I know, the optical outputs from an integrated sound solution really surprised me. It's a little tight around the CPU socket, but otherwise a nice layout...

That looks like a pretty sweet board. I use to love my 6ba+iv. But it raises a question I've always wondered about, how come it's so rare that companies include optical or spdif IN? There's gotta be others like me out there dying for a decent way IN.
