New SOYO Motherboards Feature ATI RADEON 9100 IGP Chipset
June 1st, 2004

ONTARIO, CA – SOYO®, Inc. (OTCBB: SOYO), a manufacturer of award-winning motherboards, computer peripheral, barebone systems and wireless networking products, has announced the SY-P4RS350 and SY-P4RC350 -- a pair of mATX motherboards based on ATI’s Desktop 9100 IGP Series chipset architecture.

Television monitors, multiple PC monitors, or a combination of up to nine active TVs and monitors can all plug directly to the motherboards with ATI’s trademarked SURROUNDVIEW feature. Both the SY-P4RS350 and SY-P4RC350 support Intel’s Pentium 4 Prescott Processor with Hyper-Threading Technology up to 800 MHz FSB, 3D Graphics with 128MB main memory configurable as display memory, 8X AGP slot, 6-channel Stereo Audio, 10/100 LAN port, and high-speed USB2.0. The SY-P4RS350 has Dual-Channel DDR400 / 4 DIMM up to 4GB (Single-channel DDR400 / 2 DIMM up to 2 GB on the SY-P4RC350 model).

With its support of ATI’s RADEON 9100 PRO IGP feature-rich chipset, SOYO provides the perfect foundation for building a cost-effective multimedia PC or entry level gaming platform as well as system stability and investment protection as the industry moves toward next-generation 3D operating systems.

The SY-P4RS350 and SY-P4RC350 motherboards are both enhanced by onboard 128MB video memory, which supports 2D/3D graphic and SURROUNDVIEW. Both mATX boards also feature integrated LAN-READY Ethernet controllers and S-Video and Composite video outputs that support PAL/NTSC television formats.

SOYO has embedded Surround Sound on both boards, which saves valuable expansion slots. The embedded on board CMI 9739 AC97 audio chipset provides a 6-channel audio solution for true Surround Sound effects.

The boards come with all the standard I/O’s such as PS/2 (for mouse and keyboard), two serial RS-232 ports, a parallel printer port, Serial ATA, and six USB 2.0 ports (2 rear, 4 pin header).

SOYO Releases the Multi-Media Ready “Instant Boot-up” SY-P4VAL Version M Motherboard
March 5th, 2004

ONTARIO, CA -- SOYO® Group, Inc. (OTCBB: SOYO), a manufacturer of award-winning motherboards, computer peripheral, barebone systems and wireless networking products, has released the SY-P4VAL Version M, an “all-in-one” motherboard, which features an "instant boot-up" feature to deliver true multimedia performance.

SOYO’s SY-P4VAL is a user-friendly Pentium 4-based motherboard with an interface for “Media Center” functionality that allows users to have DVD and CD or CD-R with MP3 playback or operate a TV tuner card without an operating system. The technology allows a PC's entertainment functions to turn on almost instantly with a range of functions, such as fast-forward, rewind, and jumping from track to track.

The key is the unique BIOS and multimedia menu that SOYO developed specifically for media centers. The instant menu gives the user the opportunity to select from an assortment of multimedia icons based on the installed multimedia peripherals—MP3, CD, VCD, DVD, and TV—before the system boots or even without a resident operating system. Like a TV, the multimedia menu loads in less than 10 seconds from switching-on the computer, which makes any of these connected multimedia peripherals immediately available.

The board provides integrated networking capability, onboard graphics and embedded Stereo Sound audio that enables users to build multifunctional units utilizing SOYO’s state-of-the-art components. SOYO’s SY-P4VAL v.M is a ATX motherboard, supporting up to 3.06 GHz Pentium 4 processors using a 533 MHz FSB, and features DDR memory support, on-board AC97 Codec 6-ch audio, S3 Graphics ProSavage8™ integrated graphics, 10/100 Mbps LAN, high-speed USB 2.0.

The SY-P4VAL is the first in a series of products SOYO is developing for the consumer/media center market. Watching TV requires a TV tuner card that Soyo will bundle with the board. Playing back DVDs and CDs uses the VIA chipset's onboard audio and video logic.
