Soltek SL-75ERV
SocketA DDR Motherboard
We continue to see revisions to
some good designs from Soltek. While we really liked the SL-75DRV2
we thought there was always a little room for improvement. Lo and behold we get
in another board but although it shares a lot of similarities with the earlier
boards it has some interesting and noteworthy additions. Misr
Corp was kind enough to once again send us the evaluation unit.

First
Impressions
What
immediately grabbed my attention when I opened the box for the SL-75ERV was its
purple color. Even more interesting is that a close look at the tracings shows
that they have a pink appearance. Certainly not the most manly of color choices
but another good option for people who may have windows and lighting in their
cases.
What also immediately
stood out is that the ERV has six PCI slots and the vestigial CNR slot. How many
times do we wish we had just a little more storage potential? Six slots should
satisfy almost any user so this is a welcome addition. Normally I can get a link
for you guys at either Soltek or Misr's site for a mainboard but this board is
so new that there is no info for it online.
