ASRock P43TWINS1600 ATX LGA775 P43 DDR2 DDR3 PCI-E16 SATA2 Sound GBLAN Motherboard

Cons: The IO shield had lots of prongs sticking out that were difficult to bend back, and they kept the mobo from seating correctly the first time around. The PS/2 keyboard controller was DOA, so I was unable to enter the bios or setup windows, etc. USB-based keyboards didn't seem to work either. Sent it back for RMA yesterday.

Pros: Inexpensive, comes with a lot of features.

Cons: No firewire, only 1 PCIe 2.0 x16 slot.

Pros: Supports DDR3 RAM, not to expensive.

Cons: Only real problems were only minor things. Simple things that could've and should've been fixed before it was put on the market. Like, the CMOS battery is RIGHT UNDER where you'd put a Graphics Card, so to flash your bios, you have to take out the Card. Also, if you're attempting to overclock, and it doesn't work, it will not refute back to default settings or anything of the sort, or even previous working settings, it will just try random under-clocked variations, that would some times take about 5 minutes to try one combination. Although, this was my first ever attempt at overclocking. But, i did get it stable. BIOS wouldn't update on XP 32-bit, but Windows 7 RC x64 worked fine.

Pros: Well, it definitely suits my needs. It has a PCI-e slot, SATA II, LGA 775 CPU slot, etc. It even has some future-proof-ness with the DDR3 1333 slots. Basically, if I could get it working, I didn't have problems. There are a lot of settings for it, so that isn't an issue.

Cons: My board is at best limping. It was never able to have a very stable OC. For a while all the USB ports on the beast just shut off and wouldn't work for a month... I finally went through and disconnected everything and reconnected it with a positive result.Later the board decided to stop working while i was playing a game and using bittorrent. I tried to turn it off gracefully to no avail, so I proceeded to cut the power. After this it didn't want to give the "happy beep" so I pulled out the ram and switched it, and re-seated everything else. It finally gave the happy beep, but then I had to reinstall grub (boot loader) because it was spitting out "error 17."

Pros: This board was a cheap board that boasted to be the end-all be-all. And I am sure some of you will receive that board.

Cons: Some of my wires are stretched pretty far to hook to their connectors, but they hook.

Pros: DDR2 and DDR3 support7.1 sound onboardlots and LOTS of USB ports.

Cons: Randomly errorsInstant boot software does the same thing as Window's hibernate and sleepDoesn't auto detect memory very wellBoard came with half of the memory slots defective

Pros: DDR2 and DDR3 compatableLots of open ports for USB, SATA connections, etc.Countless settings in the BIOSManual is very helpful in hooking up everythingOverclocking software is included

Cons: Had to adjust the BIOS to get it to read all 5 GB of RAM, although it was literally just me switching an option on, Board takes a couple of seconds to boot (before windows)

Pros: Cheap, DDR2 & DDR3, Enough SATA ports and connections, BIOS provides a lot of options

Cons: None

Pros: Never had any problems with this board, high quality worksmanship, extremely well put together board. Supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory, which is a really handy feature as DDR3 memory comes down in price. Plenty of PCI slots, as well as a PCI-E 2.0x16, for high performance video cards. I STRONGLY recommend this board for anyone, whether it be a gaming machine, office machine or any custom rig in between, you will not be dissapointed.

Cons: when i turn the computer on, it takes 2-3 sec to boot, well not a major problem but kinda annoying when i am in a hurry.

Pros: Work as described perfectly, I love the price, very cheap and works smoothly

Cons: Happiness did not last long at all. The motherboard died only 5 months of use. It died slowly, starting with the death of the on board sound, then to one of the on board USB ports, and then the board died altogether. The RMA process through ASRock is HORRIBLE and they made it pretty hard to acquire which made it a painful experience. The customer service representatives barely speak any English and were very hard to understand.

Pros: Very easy to work with, well laid out board, on-board sound is very good, all USB and Front Audio ports worked perfectly, plenty of SATA ports to work with, a big video card did not hender one of the PCI slots useless, standard overclocking worked perfectly even a novice can do it safely within its BIOS options.

Cons: BIOs is touchy. 1st board I loaded the updated BIOs onto the board and let it cycle on and off overnight. In the morning it was still cycling on and off so I manually shut it down. Board would no longer POST after that. 2nd board stopped POSTing after I manually reset the BIOs with the jumpers, just kept cycling on and off again.

Pros: Worked well when it was running.

Cons: really picky when it comes to ram i bought 4gb of ocz pc2 6400 800 which is the ram you would buy for this board and i got about 12 blue screens befor i took it out then none i checked the manual and low and behold it is really picky. only uses 2 out of 4 qores on the q6600

Pros: it was cheap

Cons: Wish RAID were built in, but I may or may not ever set up an array anyway. No firewire either, but I knew that when I bought it.

Pros: PCIe 2.0, tons of memory options in bios. Asrock OC tuner software. DDR2 and DDR3 support. I paired it with an e5200 and run it at 3.6 GHz

Cons: ASROCK is a HIT OR MISS company. THIS BOARD SHIPPED WITH THE !!WRONG!! BIOS CHIP INSTALLED!!!!! NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM ASROCK WHATSOEVER!!BOARD IS COMPLETELY UNSTABLE AND USELESS!!!!

Pros: LOOKS GOOD ON PAPER

Cons: My main reason to write this review: Stay away from ECS, I purchased this ASRock mobo to replace a broken ECS (after 5 months of use), I'm still waiting for Tech support's solution (they keep asking me about other components installed or probably it's a short circuit caused by the case, even after I told them that the new ASRock mobo is working fine) .

Pros: Has a lot of features compared to cheaper motherboards. I have several ASRock motherboards and they work fine. Although some models came with only 1 USB internal connector.

Cons: First board killed 2 gb of OCZ ram. I have since RMA the ram and motherboard. The second motherboard has another bad ram slot and will need to be RMA. Also killed another set of OCZ RAM. Also corrupted my quad boot system. XP, VISTA, windows 7. I've had the PC built for 3 months and have had to reload the OS's a total of 15 times (mostly vista) due to random shutdowns during updates due to the bad hardware. Many othe rissues DO NOT BUY THIS BOARD.

Pros: Looked great on the site, had problems from day one. No Fault to newegg. AS ROCK is horribleDO NOT BUY

Cons: it was open box...i installed all components. started boot and nothing . i was bummed ! so i looked at the motherboard and it was missing the jumper to clear the cmos so i borrowed one from a spare MOB and set it to defalt and WAAAALA it booted

Pros: Runs OCZ ReaperX HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Games run QUICK! unreal tournament 3, crisis , DCS Black SHark,,, once i set timing in the mother board bios to ram specs except for the voltage which is set to 1.88v IT RUNS LIKE A CHARM!!!!!

Cons: Nothing really, all the features advertised work. If you're looking for features it doesn't have, buy something else.

Pros: Decided to write this because of a review i saw below. I have had this board for about 6 months. I have an e8400 OC'ed to 3.8 GHz with all bios settings still on auto and the frequency at 422 MHz. So the guy who said he can't get to 3.6 may be doing something wrong. Overall a great board for a single card, helped me make a cheap and powerful build.

Cons: The placement of the Audio jumpers on the board is a little frustrating, since a lot of cases do not have a long enough cable to sufficiently reach it without crossing over the bottom PCI slot. This wasn't too much of an issue for me since I'm only using one of the slots, but if you wanna load up on PCI cards (for whatever reason), be aware that you will run into a minor space issue.

Pros: Cheap, well laid out (mostly), and compatible with most modern technology.

Cons: Will NOT overclock my e8400 from 3.0 to 3.6 GHz. Also, the main power to the mobo is right in the middle, which makes cable management a pain. BIOS is not super customizable

Pros: 1600 FSB, Supports DDR2 + 3, Does almost everything well.
