| | Shuttle AK35GTR
v2.2 VIA KT33 mainboard (1)
Overclocker 22 Mar 2002
Shuttle recently introduced another model after the
successful AK35GTR (KT266A). In fact, this board looks exactly like the AK35GTR
which we reviewed last year. The main difference is that it has DDR333 support
via KT333 chipset. VIA 8233A south bridge supports the ATA-133 and the HPT372
supports ATA-133 RAID 0/1/0+1.
The Shuttle AK35GTR v2.x as I have said is an
improved edition of the AK35GTR. It is one of the few boards that features 4
DIMMs (Supports 6 banks up to 3 GB DRAMs
(512Mb x8/x16 DRAM technology) for un-buffered DDR SDRAM module Supports 8 banks
up to 4 GB DRAMs (512Mb x8/x16 DRAM technology) for register DDR SDRAM module No
ECC function support), O/C features and 5.1 channel audio. It also comes with
a Cmedia chipset that Support 5.1 speakers, C3DX positional audio in 6 CH
speaker mode HRTF-3D positional audio, supporting Direct Sound 3D and A3D
interface and Legacy SBPRO compatible
This is probably the only board that allows
Vcore to be adjustable up to a high of 1.10v ~ 2.3v. Normal mainboard
usually stop at a maximum of 1.85v while Shuttle provided more for the
overclockers.
CPU Ratio is selectable from 5.5x ~ 12.5x.
DDR voltage is selectable too from 2.5v, 2.55, 2.6, 2.7v. CPU Clock is
adjustable from 133 ~ 200Mhz at 1Mhz stepping.
Below are the specifications of the board. The
subsequent pages will be the gallery followed by benchmark results including
SuperPI, Q3, etc.
