Soltek SL-PT880PRO-FGR Pentium 4 Motherboard

     After a long period of Intel domination, VIA has finally released a new chipset supporting the Pentium 4 processor, including the new Prescott. Named the VIA PT880, this chipset promises to bring us everything the Intel 875 has up to this point, and maybe even a little more. Soltek has crammed the VIA PT880, and a whole lot of other cool goodies into a motherboard called the SL-PT880Pro-FGR. It's quite a mouth full, but how else would you name a motherboard that has it all, including the kitchen sink? Decked out in deep purple and black, this feature packed motherboard promises to deliver a whole lot, for a whole lot less...
