92 out of 100
Its a good performer, its priced competitively, has a wonderful manual, and has the overclocking necessities.

I think this has to be one of the best value KT133A boards out. If you don't need RAID, look at this board for its strong performance. I highly recommend this board to somebody who is building their first system. The manual will help anybody install it without any problems.

Choosing the Shuttle AK-11 is a good choice for somebody who wants to make a significant gain in performance without making a significant dent in their wallet.

Pros: Great performance, highly configureable and economical as well.

 

HOTHardware: "Rating 8 of 10"

Heatmeter Rating 8 of 10

All in all, we'd have to say we were very pleased with the Shuttle AK11. The quality of the board is top notch, it is an excellent performer and it's layout is near flawless. We had a good luck while overclocking and our test system was completely stable throughout all of the benchmarks. If you're in the market for a quality KT133A based motherboard, you cannot go wrong with the Shuttle AK11. Barring the fact that DDR is here, and is very affordable, there is no disadvantage to owning a board such as this. We give the VIA KT133A based Shuttle AK11 a HotHardware heat meter rating of 8.

 

Lost Circuits: "...some of the hottest boards in the retails chnnel were actually mady by Shuttle.."

One must not forget that some of the hottest boards in the retail channel were actually made by Shuttle, (...) Shuttle gives a very generous 6 PCI slots, plenty of space for anyone (...) Around the AGP slot is an AGP retention mechanism, which keeps the AGP card in its slot. (...) The active cooling of the chipset, which, by itself, can make some significant difference in terms of overclocking and stability of the chipset at higher bus speed. (...) The board was running at 150MHz (...) On the other hand, there are enough VIA 133A boards out there listing FSB options up to 150MHz or beyond which won't even boot above 145MHz.

 

PC go: "Gut - ein schnelles Board für AMD Prozessoren"


PC go! Magazin
Ausgabe 8/2001, Seite 170 linke Spalte
Fazit: Gut - Ein schnelles Board für AMD-Prozessoren

Wer ein zuverlässiges und schnelles Mainboard sucht, das mit guten Übertaktungsmöglichkeiten und ordentlicher Ausstattung aufwarten kann, liegt mit dem Spacewalker AK11 richtig.

Das Board erlaubt es, den FSB zwischen 100 und 166MHz in MHz-Schritten zu erhöhen. Viel Platz gibt es rund um den Prozessorsockel. Damit steht auch den Einsatz eines großen Lüfters nichts im Wege. Dieser könnte bei einem übertakteten Prozessor nötig werden.

 

PC Welt: "...solide Platine, die auch nicht viel kostet."

Die Spacewalker AK11 ist eine solide Platine, die auch nicht zu viel kostet.

Keine der eingesteckten Komponenten machte im Test Probleme. Sie können einen Systemtakt (Front Side Bus) von 133 bis 166 MHz in 1-MHz-Schritten einstellen (Übertaktbarkeits-Note 2,1). Das englischsprachige Handbuch ist sehr gut.
