Intel Pentium II 400 (100MHz x 4) 19.0 15.7 11.0
Intel Pentium II 402 (115MHz x 3.5) 19.1 16.6 11.5

 

The Final Decision

The biggest appeal of the Apollo Pro Plus chipset comes in the upgrade market where the ability to reuse PC66 SDRAM in conjunction with 100MHz bus speeds and low cost are key factors. In that respect, Shuttle delivers with the HOT-661V. However, for those of you looking for a little more in a motherboard, there are more stable, more expandable, and faster boards for just a bit more money.
