Hey ... I'm offended!!
I have a Soltek SL-75KV+ Socket-A (KT133) motherboard. I'm running it right now (as I type) with a Duron 700 @ 1Ghz, 256Mb PC133, 64Mb Geforce2 GTS, etc ...

Rock solid stability ... my Asus A7V gave me nothing but trouble :(
Adjustable voltage settings in the BIOS. No jumpers.
Adjustable multiplier settings via Dip-Switches. Easy :)

All honesty it's a GOOD board !! ... I wouldn't over-rate it. But it's cheaper than most, and it's stable and works well with Athlon/Duron overclocking. :)

8.5/10

I like Soltek too.. been seeing some good things about them, would consider building peoples machines on Soltek to save some cash but not to sacrifice satisfaction.. that makes a good mobo!

If you look through the news links, you will see more good reviews. Also the board is sooo damn cheap. Looks like a winner to me.

Hes nuts...... Next year it will be MSI vs Asus vs Abit (Although I personally never count abit due to their bad QA). MSI is the best right now for Socket A... MSI has always made a stable as hell board... and it has all the nice options too... bios multiplier/FSB.

I'd rather expect MSI to take the crown.

I believe that Soltek is too small to really compete! I did work as a support techie for a computer distributor who used Soltek motherboards for their systems!

Very cheap, reliable and stable!

Would be interesting to see if they can get more into the consumer market.

I still think Asus is the best overall, not neccessarily the performance, but the service, and other stuff..
