Upgrading to Athlon 64? Heres the motherboard for you!

Anandtech.com has posted the review of the ASRock 939Duel-SATA2 motherboard. Why its just another motherboard your probably saying to yourself. Fusion I have an motherboard! Why would I need another one? Well listen up chumps Im here to tell you this thing is the bomb.

For those who dont know ASRock is a division of Asus that makes value boards (read: inexpensive). The reason they are so cheap is they have forgone using Nforce or VIA chipsets and have instead used ULi (formerly ALi) chips. But what makes this motherboard so good? First of all it has support for BOTH AGP and PCIe video cards. Unlike many current motherboards which use the PCI bus for AGP cards this board uses AGP like motherboards of old. This means AGP speed for older cards and faster PCIe when your cheap ass decides to upgrade that TNT2 piece of crap you got for christmas from you mo'ma.

Ohh yeah and the best part of it all: this beast only costs about $70. Read the review yourself you sods and go order one now!
