Conclusion
The Soyo CK8 Dragon Plus may not offer the
performance and features of our recently reviewed Soyo Dragon 2 Platinum P4
motherboard, but
for those looking to venture into the world of 64-bit computing, the Soyo
Dragon Plus is an affordable solution offering top notch quality and
stability. It allows moderate overclocking and can run an Athlon64 3200+
at the speed of a 3400+ while maintaining 100% stability. The nForce 3 150 chipset does not offer much in terms of
features, so it is up to the manufacturer to provide them. Unfortunately,
not much is offered along with the CK8. This board is mainly targeted at
the mainstream Athlon64 user who isn't all to concerned about features.
The CK8 does thrive in a true 64-bit environment and is an ideal choice for
those looking to eventually upgrade to a 64-bit operating system.
