Sweet little board

ASRock A55M-HVS FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock A55M-HVS FM1 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Very stable, works fantastic paired with my "AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz Socket FM1 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6410D" I like the bios menu, best bang for budget buck.

Cons: Cant complain for any lacking ports at this price

Overall Review: I am very happy with the performance I get with this board. I run a 24 inch monitor and do light gaming, I also stream movies all the time on a 40 1080 HD TV with zero issues to date with board or chip. I am very happy and will try another ASROCK board with my nest build.

Most Critical Review

Research before purchasing.

Logitech MK320 Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo — Entertainment Keyboard and Mouse, 2.4GHz Encrypted Wireless Connection, Long Battery Life

Pros: Cheap for 2.4 ghz, I can use it on my bed about 15 feet away and around a corner with no issues (with receiver extension cable). Keys are a lot quieter than my last one.

Cons: Receiver needs to be on my desk. I had to use a extension I dont use any more that I originally used for a wireless usb internet receiver. If I did not have this extension this product would suck because my keyboard and mouse did not work properly when the usb receiver was connected to the back of the pc under my desk in the pc compartment. They obviously know this and should include a extension cable and receiver stand with the product. Originally I thought the product was defective.

Overall Review: With my desk top stand usb extension device this product works great. You absolutely need one if hooking the receiver to one of the usb ports on the back of your desk top pc under a desk or your mouse and keyboard signals will not connect properly. If you dont have an extension you need to purchase one with the product to use the way I do. That said it now works fantastic at 15 ft away.

Awsome little APU

Pros: Does everything I need it to for cheap, cheap, cheap

Cons: Zero

Overall Review: I built a very cheap pc and paired this chip with the "ASRock A55M-HVS FM" and steam video flawlessly on my 40 inch flat screen full HD TV I thought I would need a video card eventually but this thing has not hiccuped once.

Love it!
