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

Chipset: Intel 945GC A2 & ICH7

Audio: ALC888 Audio

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

Realtek RTL8111B

 

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

don't avoid the asus P5W

it was the first Leo board with its own custom installer :P

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
