ASRock 939Dual-SATA2: With AGP and PCIe

Sidney · 17th September 2005, 06:20

The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 can already be had for just under $75 mail order, making it a real bargain compared to similarly-equipped products from AMD's current processor series. The main reason is that in addition to all of the usual ingredients, the board offers the possibility of implementing either an AGP or a PCI Express graphics card, both of which work without any performance losses. The foundation of the board is ULi's M1695 chipset, which drew our positive attention in an initial test.

The very interesting part about this article is the $75 motherboard tested with $1,000 processor and $500 video card.

I am well qualified as the buyer of the motherboard, I will use it with the lowest price Venice and may be 6600GT if not sticking with the old AGP card.

lol, that is indeed a very poor review then; try to at least combine components of the same value.

somebody who's able to pay $1000 for CPU will never buy a $75 mobo
