ASRock ALiveNF6P-VSTA AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE / nForce 430 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Supports Phenom, 1066 DDR2 memory, Very stable, Decent overclocking options.

Cons: Not a con for me, but may be for others, Tiny board

Overall Review: 2nd Asrock mobo in the past 4 months and both of them are running strong with no problems what so ever. If your looking for a cheap board to upgrade to AM2, or just need another cheap mobo, No need to look any farther.

Pros: We like this and it works good. Not many problems with ASRock.

Cons: none really

Overall Review: Good, dependable board thus far.

Pros: I have two of these ASROCK motherboards and they are solid as a "Rock". I have several computers and these, at least for office type work and older games (with a video card), are truly reliable as compared to a couple of other "better" brands bought from NewEgg. They are all good motherboards that I have purchased, but ASROCK has never needed bios tweaking and updating like a couple of others I have.

Cons: Only 2 in addition to the pci xpress slots for those who need more.

Overall Review: Wish all motherboards are solid as ASROCK.

Pros: Price. Easy set up, and bios options. Can and will recomend this board to others who are looking to biuld a decent NON AM2+ system.

Cons: Perhaps I am wrong somehow, if so I'd love to know how. However, Newegg lists this as a socket AM2+/AM2 board, if you go to the asrock spec. page for this board it states; "If you use AM2+ CPU on AM2 chipset motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200 MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s), but the CPU frequency will not be influenced." This board is also not listed on that page as being AM2+. As another review stated this board is slow to P.O.S.T. with an ATA hd.

Overall Review: I should have done a bit more research before buying this, my fault I know better. However the fact that this is listed as an Am2+/AM2 mobo. isin't and niether is the slow post with ATA which is the real reason for only 4 eegs. This board has been running stable with no problems, other than what was mentioned. I will be keeping this board for a non AM2+ UBUNTU biuld I have planed and other than the cons mentioned I am, overall happy with this board. I have never had a problem ordering from Newegg so I decided to go by the specs as listed since my computer died and I was in a rush to get my system back up and running as cheap as possible. Remember to do your research before you buy. ;-> My sys. (for the moment), ASRock ALiveNF6P-VSTA, Phenom 9550, Super Talent 2gb DDR2 800, 200GB wd sata 7200 rpm, 13.6 GB wd 1000 rpm ATA, Leadtek 7900gs 256mb, ASUS dvd, WIN XP PRO SP2. I am looking foward to seeing how this board will preform with a dual core cpu and an SATA hd.

Pros: Very good board for a very good price. I've built systems with 3 or so of these, and they're rock solid. Good build if you're using SATA Hard Drive or just IDE DVD Drives.

Cons: Only issue I confronted was a slow POST when plugged into an ATA Hard Drive, threw code 0075, yes the Hard Drive and CD-ROM have correct jumpers and are recognized by the BIOS.

Overall Review: I'll buy more of these at this price.

Pros: Everything works out of the box in Linux. Price.

Cons: None. However, do not buy the wireless module with it. See my review there for more information.

Pros: Great board for the money! Replaced a bad gateway(GT5476E) board, and other than having to add a second internal usb port (Rosewill Low-Profile PCI to 2+1 USB2.0 Cards) it went without a hitch. Ready to

Cons: none

Overall Review: For the guy needing to read the manual, download the one from their website, it's alittle more informative.

Pros: very stable, good overclock, and good reliability.

Cons: hm... it only got 2 dimms?

Overall Review: i'm running 4000x and using am2 boost or something and it overclocked from 2.1 ghz to 2.3 by itself. pretty amazing :D
