     When I first heard about Soltek it intrigued me. I was under the impression that it was some kind of company located in upper Russia plugging out motherboards in the ice cold Ukraine winter. Of course I was mistaken, Soltek turns out to be a traditional Taiwanese company, although they do differ a bit when it comes to their overall delivery of a product. Most of us never really take into consideration the differences between a small and a large motherboard company. Soltek is one of those companies that has the ability to focus all of its attention towards the development of a product. This kind of notion really takes shape given that we have yet to see any kind of problems with Soltek motherboards. We have never had a problem with Soltek motherboards except perhaps when it comes to the BIOS. Most BIOS from the likes of ABIT or DFI give you vast options in which you can tweak and optimize your system. Of course we must add that Soltek despite being the underdog in their BIOS options, especially the voltage options, still perform extremely well, and in some cases better. We can say that they are continuing their tradition of stability with the latest VIA chipset, the K890 which we are going to have a look at today.
