cheers - muchly appreciated!

This board looks great value - can someone confirm though whether it has gigabit LAN? It says at the bottom of http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Others__Asrock__BFG___Foxconn__174.html that it does, although on the manufacturer's website and in a couple of reviews, it says it doesn't.
Thanks,

Was considering getting this board, just for a quick and easy way of changing to PCI-E... I was just wondering how well it overclocks?

from what i read earlier

This board is not for "hardcore" overclocking and can be fidley, but it does overclock, I think some in this thread has a A64 Venice 3000+ o/c'ed to 2.5GHz

I ran my x2 [email protected] on air, no problem

Mr Men · 15 Jun 2006 at 23:41

Who wants to guide me through overclocking my 3700+ San Diego with this board? total noob and not the best at reading guides, but an easy to follow step by step guide would be just great. Not looking for a massive gain, just a baby step so I can see how its done.

Cyber-Mav · 16 Jun 2006 at 01:43

not too bad on the overclocks with this board. im managing htt of 290. and i know of another person who is doing 294htt.

some people have been known to hit 400 on the htt!

Has anyone heard anything about the expansion board for AM2? Have they actually released it yet?

Not looking to upgrade quite yet but just wondering if it was all marketing fluff or they actually are going to bring it out.

Not sure if it's been released yet but it has been made and there are reviews out for it.
I think I heard that it would cost about £15. Don't know where I heard that from though so don't know if it's true.

It's on the Asrock Site, so they must be bringing it out.

Has anyone had problems with their PCI slots?

Ive tried a PCI usb2 card and when its slotted in, my pc will crash once its loaded.

Also bought a tv tuner card, and that crashes and doesnt work.

Is there a driver i need for pci slots, or is something wrong with this motherboards PCI slots?

No problems with any PCI slots here. Maybe the PSU is struggling to power the extra devices.
I don't think there are any drivers for pci slots, unless the chipset driver does this.

It's the M1695 driver.

Mr Men · 16 Jun 2006 at 20:35

How do you lock the AGP and PCI speeds on this board?

Angilion · 16 Jun 2006 at 22:13

Enable the PCI-E Async[hronous] option in the CPU overclocking section of the BIOS. That locks AGP and PCI as well as PCI-E.
