ASRock G31M-GS + Intel Xeon 4 cores CPU Review

2 Out of 3 of my desktop personal computers are using ASRock motherboard.

I choose this ASRock G31M-GS motherboard because my previous low quality mainboard was out of service, then I choose the best price motherboard in the Mong Kong Computer Shopping Mall in Hong Kong. It is because I only have a limited budget. ASROCK can satisfy my requirement.

I choose this also because of the functions it have. It has a build in video chipset, that means I can still use it even if my video card goes down. My video card really out of service 2 days ago! It also has SATA connectors, 775 CPU socket , PCI-E slot, PCI slots, dual channel DDR II RAM slots, build in sound chipset and build in video chipset. It satisfies my requirements and save a lot of time for installing a all in one motherboard.

The feature that I like is that it can support modded Intel Xeon 4 cores CPU. These Intel Xeon CPU have relatively lower prices than the other 4 cores CPU. I have upgraded to a Xeon 5355 2.6GHz 4 cores 1333MHz FSB CPU from a Pentium 4 551 3.4GHz CPU and Pentium D 945 3.4Ghz CPU.

Another features I like is that it can also support a 1600MHz CPU that means I may even upgrade to 1600MHz FSB CPU. My next target is to upgrade it to a Intel Xeon X5492 3.4GHz 4 cores 1600MHz FSB CPU.
