Hi i posted a thread about an msi motherboard yesterday turns out the clearance stock of it has now sold out

anyway is this motherboard good. i don't need good pc graphics, i only need decent graphics to get Windows 7 Aero

I am going to get an AMD II x4 635 processor

Thanks for the advice

Will this be able, and will it be better, to run 64 bit os?

thanks

can someone explain what this means

If you use AM3 / AM2+ CPU on AM2 chipset motherboard, the system bus speed will downgrade from HT3.0 (5200 MT/s) to HT1.0 (2000 MT/s), but the CPU frequency will not be influenced.

thanks

I wouldn't get ASRock. Other than that, looks like a pretty good deal. And I have no idea what the system bus speed being lowered means.

Its really a AM2 board. Has a limit of 1000/2000mhz HT. So if you run a AM2+/AM3 processor it will downgrade their HT. If your getting a AM3 processor I would atleast get a AM2+ board. It has a HT max of 2600/5200
