This is the first time we've included a Luckystar motherboard in a roundup and although the board hung with the best of them, the feature list wasn't long enough to contend with the likes of ABIT, Gigabyte and Soyo.
The board is fairly simple and features a total of 11 selectable FSB frequencies with no voltage adjustment support. The audio is provided by the Analog Devices AD1885 AC'97 codec which is the same codec found on the Intel board among others.
The stability of the solution was decent but we did encounter a few random OS hangs while testing the board, something we didn't see with any of the other solutions. Another issue we ran into was that the AD1885 codec would not work even after enabled in the BIOS although we speculate that this may be a problem with our particular sample.
