Motherboards in 2001 Preview: Part 2

Microstar

The Microstar booth was very close to the Gigabyte booth, and coincidently they happened to be the only two manufacturers that demonstrated working samples of Pentium 4 motherboards. At the other end of the Microstar booth, we were able to find Microstar's Socket-370 DDR solutions as well as a couple of new products for AMD's Socket-A platform.
