ASROCK showcases P43, P45, X48, 790GX boards

ASRock will be showcasing a lot of new products at the Computex Taipei 2008. Here is a list of boards on display.

 


 
We will first take a look at the P45 motherboards - ASRock P45R2000-WiFi.

ASRock P45R2000-WiFi is the only P45 MB which supports FSB2000 MHz (OC)! P45R2000-WiFi supports the exclusive DDR2 + DDR3 memory module. With DDR3 getting popular, ASRock P45R2000-WiFi is definitely the best flexible memory solution. Other than that, P45R2000-WiFi also supports the latest PCIE2.0 specification which can fully deliver PCIE2.0 VGA card performance. The flexible PCIE2.0 graphics slots design (2 x PCIE2.0 slots, x16/x8, x8) allow user to choose x16 for single card or x8/x8 for Cross Fire. Other excellent designs include Dual Gigabit LAN, free bundled WiFi-802.11g module, ALC890 Audio Codec for 110dB sound quality and all solid capacitors design.

Two other models P45R2000 and P45TurboTwins2000 share a similar layout just with slightly difference specs (with/without WIFI, 1394)



P43R1600Twins-WiFi
With PCIE2.0 VGA card replacing the PCIE1.0 VGA card gradually, only
motherboard supports PCIE2.0 specification can fully deliver PCIE2.0 VGA card performance. ASRock P43R1600Twins-WiFi supports the latest PCIE2.0x16 specification which is better than the PCIE1.0x16 specification of P35 motherboard. P43R1600Twins-WiFi has also been proven 14% better than P35 reference board in graphics performance. In addition to graphics performance, this motherboard saves full time energy. When CPU is at idle mode, P43 MB can enter deeper sleep mode (C4 state) than P35 (can only enter C1e state) and save more energy.

Even when system is off, ASRock P43 MB can save more energy than P35 Ref. MB because of the lower power consumption of +5VSB.
