Overclockers Online has posted a review of the IWill DVD266-R, a dual socket370 motherboard featuring onboard RAID, DDR memory support and FREE heatsinks



Expansion shouldn´t be a problem with the DVD266-R, as it comes with 5 PCI slots and one AGP slot. IWill engineers made a good move by not installing a CNR or any other wasteful slots. Although most people will have enough breathing room with 5 PCI slots, I would have loved to see a 6 PCI config on a duallie for once. I guess they left it out because of the onboard AMI RAID controller. Another PCI slot could cause sharing problems if all slots were to be filled. The AGP port is a normal 2x/4x port, not the AGP Pro port installed on some of the more professional boards such as the MSI Master S. This isn´t necessarily a bad thing, as no video card out there requires an AGP Pro slot and installing one would only add more to the retail price.
