    Conclusion
    For our first VIA KT266 review, all I can say is whoa, this DDR stuff really works. Shuttle’s design really makes the most out of VIA’s latest and greatest chipset. Stability on the AK31 was not to be sneezed at. No matter what, we couldn’t get the board to crash due to chipset errors. We got CPU heat and memory heat errors but no component on the motherboard gave us any problems. Our only gripe is the use of a CNR slot over an ISA slot.

    Conclusion
    (AK31) offers the best performance in Sysmark and has a full range of overclocking features. (...) it is solidly built with no cut corners. (...)
    Personally, I prefer the Shuttle AK31 v2 due to its stability and features. It is a solid board that is cheap, but without cutting any corners. Overall, it offers a blend of performance, features, stability, and expandability mostly found on costlier boards. The AK31 v2 shows that Shuttle has been doing their homework and trying very hard to compete against big names such as Asus and Abit. They’re progressing very well, and the AK31 v2 is a fine example of a KT266 board done right. For that, the Shuttle AK31 v2 deserves an Editors Choice award for best overall budget AMD motherboard.

    Translation from Italian:
    What a fantastic board! It's very stable and grants big performances, thanks to the HW optimization (done by the manufacturer). Higher performances will be obtained especially with programs that use the memory bus heavily (comparing the board with the 1.0 unoptizimized revision of AK31).

    In particular, these are the good points:

    • high stability
    • big performances
    • lot of overclocking and tuning options
    • 6 pci, 6 usb onboard and 4 ddr dimms
    • a fantastic price

    This is our final valutation: 9/10

    Excellence in Engineering!

    Shuttle stepped up to the plate and knocked one clean out of the field (...) Shuttle offered both outstanding stability and phenomenal performance all in one low cost package. The AK31 Rev. 2 is truly a gem when compared to the competition. This DDR capable board costs less than many older KT133A based motherboards with comparable features (plus the AK31 offers 4 DDR DIMM slots).

    Pros:

    • Cheap 
    • Fast 
    • Outstanding BIOS 
    • Overclocks like a champ 
    • Stable, stable, stable 
    • Great expansion capabilities 
    • 4 DDR DIMM slots 
    • Did I mention cheap?

    Rating: 9 of 10

    The Shuttle AK31 motherboard is a great performing, matching or beating the other top KT266 motherboards in every test. This review should even further emphasize how close the KT266 chipset is to being able to overcome the AMD-760 chipset. (...) When comparing the AK31 against its current rivals, the Epox 8KHA and MSI K7T266 Pro, I see no reason why you shouldn’t have Shuttle on the top of your list. The board offers all the features, performance and stability you could ask for in a KT266 solution.

    Conclusion
    The system was stable through all the tests we ran and never failed in our 48 hour stress test. (...) Shuttle has come up and I mean come up hard with the release of the AK31. This is a superior motherboard for the enthusiast and overclocker as it has features that make it very easy to modify the FSB and clock speeds of the CPU for maximum performance benifits. I was very impressed with this motherboard as was Max Gyver when we saw the results that could be obtained in a standard configuration.

    If you want a stable extremely easy to use Athlon motherboard this is a serious board to consider as it fits the bill for many different types of applications. For Shuttle to even make a motherboard of this caliber shows that they can produce high end products to the consumer market without missing a beat.

    My hat goes off to Shuttle for making such a fine specimen of a motherboard. This is the fastest Athlon motherboard we have tested yet and shows someone took the time to make sure this board was a winner and not lost somewhere in the middle where Shuttle usually lands. This going to be the board I use on my AMD platform test bench for other products reviews as it worked so well. I give this motherboard a solid thumbs up and I am sure their will be reviews all over the net confirming this opinion. Good job Shuttle! Now what is next?

    • Performance layout
    • Overclocking features
    • 4 DIMM slots (DDR)
    • Low price

    Shuttle's AK31 show that a little layout and BIOS optimization go an incredibly long way, even on the poorest performing of products. One can only wonder what a re-engineered K7T266 could achieve. When the AK31 Rev1 first entered the labs, we had very high hopes for the board. With an excellent layout, 4 DIMMs, and impressive overclocking options, the AK31 looked like the AMD DDR board to have. (...) Now, with the arrival of the AK31 Rev2, the performance side of the equation, and we can easily endorse the board.

    Empfehlung der Redaktion!

    Summary: We are astonished by the results obtained. It beats almost every board out there! (...) It performs extremely fast and stable! It's even faster than the SiS735 reference board we tested in some categories.

    We have tested so many KT266 mainbords and it seems that this is the first mainboard to support 4 DDR modules. (...) Shuttle AK31 is a jumperless mainboard. It gives you a lot of flexibility to adjust the settings to your likes all within the BIOS. These include the Vcore, DDR Voltage, CPU Ratio, CPU Clock (FSB). Other than that, you can also optimise your ram timings to make it run faster.

     

    AMDWorld: "Silver Award"


    AMD World UK

    14. July 2001

    Without the doubt the whole experience of using this board surprised me (...) I would say this board has a everything you would need: extra ram slots over the AMD 760 chipset driven boards, onboard sound, very well featured bios, stability is 100%, build is a 100%, there is not anything I can complain about the board it does what its designed for and with a bit of tweaking it goes beyond its specification. At a price of sub #100 it has to be an option if you are still not convinced about the performance advantages of DDR over SDRAM based boards. This is the second with in days that's been tested and one has to say DDR is the way to go and this board provide an excellent way in to it. (...)

    AK31 gets a SILVER AWARD for its surprisingly fast performance and its ability to do what's its designed without having to make any adjustments for compatibility with existing peripherals (...) the board had no problems at all in multimedia applications, no doubts on DMA issues in Windows 2000, to sum it up its worth every dime or dollar (...)

    I was surprised to see how impressive the AK31 rev.2 really is.

    'Editor's Choice' Award !

    All round, the stability and quality of the board is excellent. This is one of the few DDR boards that has both 6 PCI slots and 4 DDR DIMM slots ... so expansion is not a problem. If you're an overclocker, don't ignore this board ... it's got some great BIOS options including a maximum of 166FSB at 1Mhz increments, x14 multiplier and voltage tweaks for DDR (upto 2.7v) and VCore (upto 2.0v+). I was able to overclock my 1Ghz AXIA to 1.52Ghz (9.5x160). There's also memory tweaks which can be done via this BIOS page. This can greatly improve memory performance and bandwidth. The package is simple with no extra innovative goodies, but with a solid board and a mature KT266 chipset, the AK31 rev.2 is one motherboard that could make Asus run hard, for it's money. All in all, a very impressive board ... well done Shuttle.

    Club Overclocker: "...the best DDR, overclocking board..."

    17. June 2001

    I would easily say the AK31 is the best DDR, overclocking board that I have played with.

    ClubOC is proud to introduce Shuttle's new and improved AK31 version2. AK31, a new KT266 based motherboard, has a clean layout. The Via northbridge even comes with a heatsink and fan attached. 4 Additional USB Ports! This just rocks. You get a total of six USB ports. Not having to go buy a USB hub is a bonus in my book. Memory! Four, 184-pin DDR Dimms that support a total of 4Gbytes of DDR RAM. With the inexpensive DDR price and the 2.1GB per second peak bandwidth, DDR is the way to go. FSB Settings, you get FSB settings from 100MHz to 166MHz. Voltage Control, you also have full control of the vcore setting. This is the choices you get. -0.025~ -0.100v, or +0.025~+0.275v from default. The board is a standard ATX layout board so installation was pretty easy. The one thing I really liked about this board was the owners manual. This owners manual is one of the best that I've seen. I was very pleased with the results of this board. On the Iwill KA266-R, I was only able to get 1400Mhz (10.5 x 133) stable. The Shuttle AK31 was able to take the same CPU and take it to 1500MHz (11 x 136) and with the small voltage adjustments, I could get it stable at 1.8v.

    6 PCI, 4 DIMMs und schnell!

    Positiv fallen die sechs PCI-Slots und vier DIMM-Steckplätze auf. Somit steht einer Bestückung mit maximal möglichen Komponenten und einer Speicherausstattung nichts im Wege. Ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal des AK31 ist die justierbare CPU-Core-Spannung bis 2,025 Volt. Diese Tatsache lässt die Herzen aller Duron-Besitzer höher schlagen, die damit die optimale Performance aus der kleinen und preisgünstigen CPU herausholen können. Ergonomisch erscheint der Einsatz einer AGP-Halterung, die ein Herauskippen der Grafikkarte wirkungsvoll unterbindet. (...) Die Performance des Boards kann durchaus überzeugen: Bei vielen Benchmarkdisziplinen belegt die Platine einen vorderen Plätze.

    Deutsche Übersetzung: Von drei getesteten Boards ist AK31 das einzige mit 6 PCI und 4 DIMM Slots. Wenn man bedenkt, daß es hauptsächlich nur 128MB PC2100 DDR-Speichermodule erhältlich sind, dann muß man AK31 nehmen, falls 512MB RAM benötigt werden. Ein weitere Besonderheit ist der aktive Northbridge-Kühler. Die Einstellungenmöglichkeiten zur Übertaktung im BIOS übertreffen die Konkurrenz (z.B. die Einstellung der Speicher-Spannung). 

    Translated in English: Shuttle AK31 - the only board of three reviewed which has 6 PCI and 4 DIMM slots. Considering that now the most widespreaded are 128 MB PC2100 DIMMs, AK31 is the only choice if PC with 512 MB of RAM needed. Another distinction of Shuttle AK31 is chipset's North Bridge active cooling. BIOS has all the overclockers' features which exceed competitors (e.g. memory voltage tuning).
