As the title says, this new asrock can work quite fully OOB like his older sister 1333conroe?
anyone can explain me if i can have a good system with this:

1333wolfdale
intel e2200
2gb ram
intel GMA onboard


i dont need speed or OC, only need stability with leopard and a easy installation...


thanks in advance and sorry for grammar mistakes

Audio: ALC888 Audio
Video: Intel GMA 950 Graphics Controller, Max Shared Memory 224MB
LAN: Realtek 8101E PCI-Express x1 Fast Ethernet Controller

conroe
Chipset - Northbridge: Intel® 945G
Southbridge: Intel® ICH7
Graphics - Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Audio - (ALC888 Audio Codec)
LAN - PCIE x1 Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000 Mb/s

looking at the specs alone i would say yep 100% compatible
the are some topics about installing on the asrock with succes
good luck to you

You should have to flash 1333Wolfy's bios with a leo-compatible one. You'd better use a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-S2, both audio in / out working and no bios issues, at all!!!

Avoid some Asus,Msi and Asrock mainboards !

candykane
don't avoid the asus P5W
it was the first Leo board with its own custom installer tongue.gif
and the older asrock boards worked fine (conroe)

newegg are offering a nice board
DFI INFINITY 975X only 69 bucks
it has the same chip set as the Asus P5w and the intel badaxe
iven the same sound and lan chips so you cant go wrong here
recent bios updates made it a good clock able board 2.
one more tip ddr2 800 is best ram for your buck other ram just give1-5% speed increase.

I would prefer GIGABYTE P35 DS3 Series Boards - also cheap, you can use modern(newest) CPUs, much overclocking funczions in BIOS, AHCI good=FAST native SATA, NO NEED for bios modding AND you can use the GREAT Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3x Control Center
