Are these 939MB's any good, a converter over to amd2 so will it take ddr2 as well, then there's PCI E and agp.
If they are any good which one would be best for sli, 939, and other bits?
I am still trying to decide which MB to buy a DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard or one of these asrocks.
But the DFI is all jumpers rather than bios settings for cpu clock speed is this so?
Cheers

I agree, the dual sata 2 is a great board, especially for 42 quid or whatever it costs now. It overclocks reasonably well IMO - ive had mine to 270htt with a 3000+. The max this motherboard can set without a vcore mod is 1.45v this is the only drawback Ive found.

Its a very stable board with a lot of expansion available due to the PCI-E slot and other expansion slots and like you say in the first post it can take am2 processors and ddr2 memory with an expansion card, however, this card is very hard to find in the uk..does anyone know if you can actually buy it?
 
I set up a friends PC that arived 2 day with no software when I looked in side it was a asrock mb 1 pci e 16, 1 pci e, 2 pci slots, on-board 7.1 sound, on board graphics nvidia 6100, 1gig of ddr2 533 single channel 128 shaired to graphics 6 usb2 2 sata2 a sony dvd rw 16 dual, 300gig samsung drive, AMD2 4600+2 proc,19inch TFT monitor, keyboard, mouse. £530 no software, I did tell him not to with that kind of money he could have built a PC with better spec's.
anyhow when I looked at the overclocking I was not to impressed,
So I think I will get the DFI sli board.
His computer was fast but no sli, the graphics are crap and so much missing for the money he spent, I sugested he gets a graphic's card now and then get the extra mem.

DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D for me I think.
 
avoid the dual-vsta like the plague! had one back at the retailer 3 times for ddr400 compatability problems. seems not to like micron based memory. most of the time you have to force the ddr400 settings as it wont auto recognise ddr400. be warned!!!!
 
ive had no problems with the dual-vsta and either has my dad were both running sandy 3700's on em. with my one i had to tell the bios to use ddr400 as it defualted to ddr333 but it performs well at ddr400 dual channel.
 
It's an upgraders board. Only get the ASRock if you're coming from AGP really. That was my sittuation and it worked wonders. As soon as i got my x1800 i just swapped it with my x800 :)

I havnt had any problems with the board, apart from the voltage limit on the Vcore, and a few errors running ram in 1T setting. But even then i'm running my 3700 @ 2.87 stable on 1.45v :)
 
sweet overclock there :) btw im using a agp x800gto and my dads using a pcie 7900gs and both the pcie and agp slots seem to perform really well :)
