I build computers as a hobby. I tried three seperate Motherboards before I found one that was not only compact in size but extremely powerful. I use two memory cards bringing the memory up tp 2048 mb. I will match this up with a 64 X 2 Dual Processor with the results being an extremely quick and highly reliable desktop computer. I cannot say enough about the products that are being manufactured by Biostar. A job very well done by their
Engineers and their Corporation.
(5 out of 5)Still got an AGP card? This is the mobo for you!
There isn't much to say about this mobo. It's a very simple and inexpensive motherboard for the ones who need a very cheap and simple computer or some you'd like to revive their AGP Card with a Motherboard that supports SATA + AMD X2. Not to mention, if you have an old IDE harddrive/CD burner, you could add that too without any hassle.
The reason why I mention simplicity in mind is because it boasts an onboard 64mb memory, just enough to render your desktop applications.
I personally installed my old XFX Geforce 6800 XT AGP on it and it roars like a charm again. I stuffed in an AMD X2 5000+ Black Edition with 2GB PNY Optima on Windows XP. Overclocked it a little to 3 Ghz and it runs faster than my Quad Core! I had a case, harddrive and CD rom ready for this setup so I spent less than $200 on a system than runs radiculously smooth. Dual Core still holds strong and this is a good motherboard to build up for the average user and/or light gamer.
