Introduction

Latest : 4CoreDual-VSTA is a newer version of this board is released and it supports Quad Core QX6700. Read t exclusive review at this link http://www.ocworkbench.com/2006/asrock/4coredual-vsta/g1.htm

The Dual series is really a very good choice for those who still owns an older AGP card. Last August, we reviewed the first such board for the Pentium 4 LGA775. It was the 775Dual-880Pro. One year later, ASRock reintroduces an improved version of this board based on the same VIA PT880 Pro chipset. This mainboard is similar to the 775Dual-880, it supports both AGP and PCIe interfaces. It can also hook up to 4 monitors to do surround video.

In additional to supporting both graphics interface standards, it also support up to 2 slots of DDR2-667 or 2 slots of DDR400 memory. The chipset used supports all series of Intel LGA775 CPUs including the highest end Intel Core2 Duo Extreme (Conroe), the X6800 that runs clks 2.93GHz (1066FSB).

This new version also is VISTA Ready and comes with HDA 8ch audio using ALC888 codec. The board also comes with a HDMI_SPDIF connector which allows audio to be output through a HDMI graphics card. Using 8237A south bridge, it supports SerialATA 1.5Gb/s, RAID 0,1, JBOD, SATA HDD Hotplug, plus 2 ports of ATA 133. There is also 10/100 PCI Ethernet LAN on board.

For those who loves mild overclocking, the board has options to fix the PCI and PCIe bus so that it won't be affected by the overclocking of the FSB.
