Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum Edition Review :: TweakTown

USB 2.0 - Not Integrated, Soyo add it

Since the VT8233A southbridge only supports USB 1.1 ports, and now that USB2.0 is coming into its prime with new devices being released for Hi-Speed USB operations, it?s more than important for you to have support for this new technology. Soyo have used the VIA VT6206 USB 2.0 controller to give you four USB 2.0 ports for 480mbps transfers to and from Hi-Speed USB devices.

Soyo have been shipping bay adapters with their recent boards and this one is no exception. This one does differ from the KT333 Dragon Ultra though. The original Dragon version used a simple four Port USB front panel for putting the USB2.0 ports at the front of the board. The Platinum edition version uses a totally new one. This bay adapter comes with Smart Media, Compact Flash USB reader built in as well as a two port USB hub. Connecting to the green headers on the motherboard this gives you the ultimate in compatibility with Digital Flash media.
