    Asrock BIOS Setup Help Needed, Please Help

    Auto is the safest way to go but Asrock got one twirk - the ram speed on Auto defaults to 333 even u got DDR400 installed. set it manually to 400 and all is well. The Aperture is for AGP only - PCIe does not use it. Disregard all AGP bios setting if u don't have a AGP card.

    Best 939 Mobo

    cheapest mob is Asrock (939) why not going AM2? - cpu pricing is pretty similar to 939 but you get a faster ram bus speed up to 800mhz

    Mobo for a new build ?'s

    I have a SLi board but do not intend to make use of a second card. The SLi advantage is meager and does not justify to pay double.

    2 motherboard questions

    If you mean the flat 4-pin molex next to the pcie slot - it's needed to power the *second* Sli card. If you mean the squary 4-pin near the cpu socket it's the dual 12V feed and must be plugged in.

    how problematic are sata connectors?

    There are some quality problems with older sata cables being stiff and flimsy seating. However more recent manufacured cables are softer and seat more firmly.

    WTF?!?! Low benchmarks

    Use Sandra to find out if your box is performing up to scratch at all - CPU, RAM, HD tests! Play with the related bios settings - the A64 has a tight timing maybe it's stumbling somewhere.

    Motherboard alignment during installation?

    Leave the screws loose when mounting the board - then place all cards in their slot and tighten all the screws. This way the mobo is perfectly aligned in the case/slots
