ASRock 939 Dual
SATA2
Mother Board
03/03/06
ASRock has had its share of ups and downs with the public view on their
products so I was a little leery at first to see the new line of Upgrade
motherboards they provide. The main reason we found an interest in these
products is simple. Very few manufacturers make a board that uses past
present and capabilities for the future. Most make what I like to call
"disposable" products with a life expectance of about a week; Joking...
Anyway ASRock's new line cover a large realm of product comparability
they have motherboards supporting multiple socket CPU's and like in the
one we will be looking at multiple video slots. The Dual 939 STAT2 has
both AGP and PCI-e plus some other cool extras. What we are looking to
do is basically just verify that this product is stable under all
conditions, so lets take a look and see if ASRock's made a winner.....
