ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD Motherboard

Versatility in a motherboard can mean many things, but seldom do we see a board which can support both PCI-e 16x and AGP 8x. ASRock has managed it in a value-driven board that gives new meaning to “bang for the buck” giving you the chance to build a platform capable of being upgraded for a long time to come. Data transfer rates between the chipsets hum along at more than satisfactory speeds, and this board will help you keep using an AGP card until such time as you see a clear benefit from switching to PCI-e. ASRock’s created something unique, in that in most boards, either the AGP or PCI-e suffers from some penalty due to the dual nature of the board, but that’s not the case here.

This truly versatile board has a 1GHz FSB (yes, you read it right), and supports the latest AMD processors. 4 slots will give you up to 4Gb of 400 MHz DDR RAM in true dual-channel configuration, and the SATA connectors will give you room for enough storage space for almost anyone. The onboard Realtel sound processor delivers rich-full range sound through your speakers, to keep you in the middle of any action, whether a movie or immersive game sequence. ASRock really pulled out all the stops in creating a board that will keep you playing even through changes in your CPU!
