Good Points

I bought two of these Motherboards, convinced of the value at a low price. One gave me many intermittent problems that took a couple of months to prove out. The other board has been operationally flawless. The built-ins are handy and save money and space.


Bad Points

The micro ATX profile has been a bit limiting in the PCI slot (only three) department. Using a CL Audigy Platnum and CR NVidea Teratextel Graphics card. Intermittent system crashes running Win2000


General Comments

The Board quality of the Asrock k7 vm2 did not meet expectations in the end with one of the the two Motherboards failing within 10 months of purchase.

I won't be back for another.

    The failing of a board could happen with the most valuable motherboards. Since you didn't try lots of these boards, it is unfair to count the failing of one board in your review.

    I don't think that a board with onboard sound and graphics should be criticised for having only 3 PCI slots. Giving it such a low rating distorts the overall score and could be offputting to someone desperately looking for a good budget board, and anyway gamers shouldn't be looking for onboard graphics (though some budget socket 754 boards using GeForce Nvidia 256mb graphics are reported as coping well with quite modern games, eg Biostar GeForce 6100-M7, see Newegg.com for lots of reviews).
