The packaging for the Shuttle board.
The Shuttle comes wrapped in a generic package that doesn't stand out from the competition. Among its positive features are its four DIMM slots and its six PCI interfaces. The manufacturer scrimped a little on the sound chip, preferring an inexpensive AC'97-Codec. Hardcore AMD fans will be happy to hear about how far the CPU core voltage can be adjusted - up to 1.85 volts. The FSB clock speed maxes out at 166 MHz. Compared to its more-established competitors, the Shuttle can't quite keep up, and brings up the rear in the benchmarks.
