SUMMARY: After a rocky start, it looks as though the KT400 based motherboards are here to stay. But with so many brands and models to choose from, how in the world can we decide what rocks and what doesn't? Come join Tio Chaharbaghi as he helps answer this question by taking a look at the Shuttle AK37GTR Motherboard.

Today we will be bringing you a review on the new Shuttle AK37GTR motherboard based on the KT400 chipset. What are you waiting for? Continue!
