Soyo is getting bigger and bigger in my head at the moment! First they sent me this rocking KT400 board and now they sent me this SY-P4I 845PE board for a P4. So I got myself a P4 2,4 gig to try this board out with. As I’ve said before Soyo boards roxor for overclocking and they are really stable etc. Well does this board stand out any or?? Lets get this party going again…
