Electronics : Asrock Skt-A K7S41Gx S/V/L M-Atx 333FRating: - Very good Motherboard for the price.I bought one of these to replace my original ASRock K7SX8E motherboard which suddenly failed, rather than completely replace my old Socket A AMD XP2600+ based system. This is a very useful motherboard for use as a replacement or when building a system based on the now obsolete Socket A processor. Installation was easy, though the manual doesn't really tell you a great deal. There's a lot of support for older hardware, such as IDE hard drives and CD/DVD drives and 1 Floppy drive. There's also a parallel printer port and even a COM1 communications port, and ASRock have even provided a bracket with a COM1 socket on it. Audio is provided by C-Media AC'97 Onboard Audio and there's 64Mb of Onboard Graphics RAM shared with the main memory. I don't use the Onboard audio or video on this Board myself, I have separate Graphics and Soundcards installed. I use my K7S41GX to capacity with the maximum 2Gb RAM installed, 2 IDE HDDs, 2 CD/DVD drives, a Floppy drive, a FireWire PCI Card and the said Graphics and Soundcards. In use, the system boots more quickly than when I had my previous ASRock motherboard and I agree with the Amazon reviewer in that it does maximise the performance of obsolete hardware. Overclocking is also possible via board jumper settings and BIOS adjustment of FSB speed and VCore voltage as well as other things. Another point is that ASRock are part of Asus, who make some of the best motherboards available, so all in all I'd highly recommend this Board for getting the most out of slightly older hardware. page 1 of 1
