It is an excellent point, but I was not reviewing any other motherboard. I was only reviewing this one. If I were having some sort of "motherboard shootout", then I would certainly be comparing different boards to each other.

On that note, Mike over at Anandtech did a shootout of several motherboards including the Iwill:

Unfortuantely, he only did a head on comparison of the Iwill against the Abit KR7, but it still can give you a good idea where this board stands in a head on comparison with at least one popular motherboard.

Of course, a look at his performance analasys on the previous page shows all of the motherboards VERY CLOSE and the Iwill towards the middle end of those comparisons, but I don't think people should consider the Iwill as a mediocre speed board with some nice features like ATA133, RAID and 5.1 sound. I think people should consider the Iwill as a great overclocker with some nice features like ATA133, RAID and 5.1 sound.

Get my drift.
