ASRock 939Dual-SATA2: With AGP and PCIe @ THG

**MIG-31** · Sep 16, 2005, 06:03 PM

ULi's M1695 chipset shines thanks to simultaneous support of AGP and PCI Express. The first motherboard to use the platform comes from ASRock - can the budget Asus brand exploit the chipset's potential?

The ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 can already be had for just under $75 mail order, making it a real bargain compared to similarly-equipped products from AMD's current processor series. The main reason is that in addition to all of the usual ingredients, the board offers the possibility of implementing either an AGP or a PCI Express graphics card, both of which work without any performance losses. The foundation of the board is ULi's M1695 chipset, which drew our positive attention in an initial test.
