For those of you with a high end AGP video card who aren't ready to have to buy a high end PCI Extreme card and possible even a new processor and ram, I submit this board to you. Not only can it run high end AGP cards but it can also run the lastest of PCI Extreme cards. Not only that, it can run AGP in full 8X which many modern boards can't even do which make it running a AGP card comparable to and sometimes even better than the most modern PCI Express cards. It also comes with a M2 socket for future processors which will all use the M2 architecture. This board appears to do it all and a new BIOS has already been released fixing several of the few problems found with the board so far. Cheap too!

The motherboard looks nice, but I have had no experience with AsRock. Are they a good company with quality products?

*EDIT*
After reading the review on Anandtech, I would think that this board is a super value. I did not know that Asus made them. If you decide to get it, let us know. I am curious as to how it performs.

I have since changed my mind about ordering this board and have instead ordered Jarg's Avatar! She should get here over night with cash on delivery. She looks pretty fast and the video potential is awesome. She has state of the art inputs and at least 2 controls for tweaking. I'll let you know what kind of throughput I get with her as I plan to upload something to her at top speeds to see if she can take it without over heating. Can't wait!
