Advantages: Price, works, works

Disadvantages: no overclocking, but?!

I had this mobo.
It came with very little extras than a manual and a driver cd.
I bought it for no money, had a duron 1300 on it, then xp1800 and finally xp2400.
It worked just fine.
I had it with a 400W PSU and infineon memory.
Then my girlfriend decided that she needs a replacement for her k6@500 and passed the thing to her. It is still working, however she observed that the onboard lan is slower that my
hp netserver lan card. I guess it should be so; after all it is an onboard lan...
This mobo is not intended for any significant over clocking. (i was not looking for it, but what the heck i tried:)
One important thing, be shure to read the manual, it has a jumper for the FSB frequency (100/133MHZ). Not that you fry your duron, well i didn?t fried mine, but it took me some time to figure it out.
After all it was a fine mobo.
I upgraded to some other Asrock thing, again for half the price you pay for other mobos, this one is working just as fine.
