Cheap, but certainly not nasty

At least that's what AthlonMB.com thinks of a new motherboard from lesser known manufacturer Matsonic. This new budget mobo features integrated video, audio and networking, and has been mostly underrepresented on most of the hardware review sites.

At least that's what AthlonMB.com thinks of a new motherboard from lesser known manufacturer Matsonic. This new budget mobo features integrated video, audio and networking, and has been mostly underrepresented on most of the hardware review sites. The board's based on the SiS730s chipset, and you can get a taste of AthlonMB.com's review by casting your eyes ever slightly downward:

'Being the first entry into the budget market, SiS and Matsonic have a chance to reap some grand benefits. VIA has released the KM133 chipset which promises to heavily compete with the SiS730s chipset. The market for your dollar on the budget end, is starting to heat up. I only wish had started months earlier so that perhaps we could have had 5-10 viable motherboards available in the market now with Duron processors so cheap to the consumer. Overall, however, the Duron market got a great first addition to help it beat out the competing Intel Celeron in the budget PC market.'
