    You have to be kidding! They are great, very friendly and excellent service, simply couldn't recommend them more!

    By the way, I think www.overclock.co.uk also do Soyo boards.

    IMO definitely! They are generally among the fastest, most feature packed, excellent quality boards around and tend to look pretty cool too! But like I have said in other threads, motherboard choice is an incredibly subjective decision!;)

    Good God no! Currently there is a P4 version of the Dragon Ultra and also the Fire Dragon - Both very nice boards, check them out over at Chillblast! They have loads of other boards on their site that they have released over the years - www.soyo.com.tw

    I just love my Dragon+, it's been great! As for the price, when you consider everything it has, from decent sound to RAID to onboard LAN to an extra floppy bay breakout with smartcard reader and usb ports, and the superb purple PCI slots;), I don't think it's that bad. The performance has been remarkable too! Maybe it is a little more but you get a great board for the money! And hey, I even got a free t-shirt with mine!
