ALBATRON? Sounds like the name of a character from Beast Wars that transforms into an Albatross, not a new entrant on the motherboard scene. But the fact the Albatron name is new doesn't mean the company behind the name doesn't have any lineage. Previously known as Monivision, Albatron has a history of producing multimedia displays, and they've only this year decided to get into PC products like mobos and graphics cards.

Albatron isn't entering the PC market blind, though. Jack Ko, formerly a founder of Gigabyte, is now their CEO. He brings with him a wealth of experience and a solid reputation.

Today we're looking at Albatron's KX400+ Pro, a KT333-based motherboard that claims to be the first to support DDR400 memory. There's a lot more to the KX400+ Pro than claimed DDR400 support, so let's dive in and see just what Albatron is offering.
