Hey, I needed to know if the Asrock K7S41GX is compatible with PCI-X technology. Someone told me it has to do with the BIOS, but I dont know if the BIOS of this mobo is compatible with PCI-X. Would like to have some help. tanks in advanced Aphis
Friend, 15 seconds of my time, and Google, have provided this: http://www.asrock.com/product/product_k7s41gx.htm It is clearly a Socket462 (Socket 'A') motherboard, supporting Athlon CPUs and AGP graphics boards. It has SiS integrated video, but can also run AGP 8x. It does not support PCI-eXpress (or 400DDR FSB, or PC3200 RAM). This motherboard is state-of-the-art circa 2003 :^) It will run any AthlonXP with 166 (333DDR) FSB, which is any Athlon except the XP3200+. The XP3200+ runs 200 x 11 = 2200MHz and is the only AthlonXP to run 200 (400DDR) FSB. So, you could use this mobo with almost any AMD AthlonXP, and PC3200 memory run synchronously @ DDR333 (PC2700 speed). Extinct? Well yes, officially it is but if you have an Athlon CPU needing a home, you're in business (you cannot buy them any more). And no PCI-X. Regards
PCI-X and PCI-E are not the same are they i read somewhere that PCI-E = Graphics PCI-X = Other add on stuff?
PCI-X, 1x, 4x, 16x (2x8 SLI) Hey I hear new SLI boards have 2x16 SLI :^) When it first came out people said 'PCI eXpress' which has been written PCI-E or PCI-X, but whatever, that mobo doesn't have it. L8R
