Haven't seen this posted. Anand has a review up of the FIC SD-11 MB (with a Via south bridge). Sounds disappointing: -Scot anandtech.com After poor motherboard support for the AMD K6 series, the success of the Athlon was very dependent on the motherboard support it would be able to acquire. The initial prognosis looked good, with AMD's Fester reference board coming out of the gates strong. It was a very basic board, but was extremely solid and got the job done without a hiccup. When we got a hold of Athlon boards from Gigabyte and MSI, it was evident that they were heavily based on the AMD reference design with a few minor modifications. At the time, FIC's SD-11 looked to be the only board on the horizon that would deviate from the AMD reference design. As we found out, it was as different as you can possibly get and still be an Athlon motherboard.
