New Update

This P4 board is good for both homes and offices ( it has onboard LAN). For using surround sound, reconfigure line-in and mic-in jacks using the accompanying SoundMax software. To use line-in and mic functions also, it has pin-outs, but no separate connectors. It has onboard AGP with 32 MB RAM and a 4x AGP slot. The chipset can burn if you connect regular 3.3V AGP 2x (the manual clearly points this out). The board performed very well with onboard graphics (see table). It’s a good buy, though it would have been better if it supported the faster 333 MHz DDR RAM.
