Recensione dell'ennesima scheda madre basata sul neonato KT400 di VIA.
La scheda in questione è una Shuttle AK37GTR, che ha come caratteristica principale la presenza di 4 Slot per le RAM DDR.
Per il resto il layout è simile alle altre schede madri con il KT400.

With the overwhelming success of the XPC small form factor series that has made Shuttle computers #1 amongst the second tier mainboard manufacturers, it is easy to forget that the Taiwanese manufacturer actually makes real ATX mainboards as well. Since the days of the AK31, Shuttle has been on a roll with the VIA KT266(A) and 333 chipsets, making some of the most competitive mainboards in the market. Where everyone else is pushing features to gain additional market share, Shuttle is releasing the AK37GTR with features that are more geared towards the insider but are nonetheless mile-stone breakthroughs in board engineering by fully implementing the ATX 2.03 concept for the first time in a single processor board for the Socket A platform. The result is the capability of driving insane amounts of system memory at high speed without any hiccup. On the downside, the BIOS of the AK37GTR is still far from perfect, especially when a 333 MHz CPU is used, resulting in lack of stability in more demanding applications. What else did we find out? Read on ...

La scheda è risultata stabile e performante, anche usando l'FSB a 333Mhz.
Inoltre offre caratteristiche interessanti come un Controller RAID inregrato e l'audio onboard della Realtek.
