Active Hardware heeft een review in elkaar gezet van de Transcend TS-AVD1. Dit plankje is gebaseerd op de VIA Apollo Pro133 chipset en behaalt met een reepje PC133 geheugen en een getweakte busspeed vrij aardige resultaten.
The Transcend TS-AVD1 struck me as a well designed board that was only lacking of some finish. Pleasant to use, this board truly came off as a good product. These days, though, it takes a few extra tricks to get noticed and take the market, as competition is increasingly fierce among motherboard manufacturers. As well, if this board had been complemented by a more generous set of software utilities, a more robust choice in clock frequencies, options for voltage adjustments, some nice features such as Power Failure Resume, Suspend to Disk, and/or Suspend to RAM, and finally some miscellaneous bits such as a thermal sensor - it would have made a much greater impression... However, It seems that Transcend is on the right track, and this company can truly move several places forward if the marketing execs take note and re-adjust their shots...
