General Comments

This Asrock k7 vm2 motherboard was a bargain at £49-00 from the local computer fair. Asrock is part of ASUS corporation and therefore quality in manufacturing can be taken for granted. With the board I have, there is onboard sound AC97 and a 32 meg savage 4 chipset as well; admittedly for gaming the graphics card is a bit slow by todays new standards; but for free it's ok. There is a 4x AGP slot for upgrading and as an extra bonus you get 4x usb 2 ports as well !
The board had none of the cheapness or flimsiness
associated with some of the cheaper brands, in fact it looked and felt like a board twice it's price. it has 2 udma 133 connectors and will support a 2600 XP chip as well as 2 sticks of DDR Pc 2100/2600 or 2 sticks of Pc 100/133 ram.

I am very impressed with the board and run it with 512 meg of 2600 DDR ram and a geforce 3ti 500 and an soundblaster Audigy card. The only let down is the poor manual, it is sparten at best and to be frank they could have made more of an effort with this. There is an AMR slot for a cheap modem and as far as I can tell bios upgrades are being written at the moment to support the faster DDR 2700 ram. I think this is a brilliant little board and am most pleased with my purchase.
