Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA VIA PT880 Ultra, S775, AGP / PCI-E, DDR

Arrives friday which is a bit naff for a delivery time
will let you know how i get on friday will be interesting to see what overclock the boards capable of.
Just a stopgap solution until i can afford a decent pci express card mobo and ram of course.

EDIt : wow i've just made a huge blunder will have to cancel the order
the Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA VIA PT880 Ultra does not support
the e4300 on the default 1.00 bios only on the 1.40 bios does it support
that cpu well how am i going to update the bios to 1.40 with a non supported cpu wow that kind of information should'nt be hidden away so much
It should state it on sites that it does'nt support the core 2 duo 4300
i hope nobody else has ordered this combo.

i guess will stick to my current rig.Yes they do overclock i think the 4 core version has a divider.
