I got in contact with Soyo first time when theKT333 chipset one came out- I was really close to ordering that and at this point I wish I would have because my Soltek DRV5 didn't live up to my expectations. Soyo isn't big here in Sweden but I know it is in USA. And I hope that with time it will start selling more here in Sweden.
