ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI microATX

[Madellga]

Hi,
I'm looking for a microATX mobo to put together a "cheap" Conroe system.

I saw this mobo, I'm interested on the DVI riser and want to do a mild overclock (like 20%).

It's a good bang for the buck, not having to buy a video card - no gaming except for kids game.

Any remarks? Is it any good?

PS: Found a "review" here:

The review you linked to stated a wall at 299 mhz FSB. Raising the FSB from 266 (default) to 299 is only a 12% increase, so you will NOT achieve your desired "mild overclock(like 20%)".

True. But it is just one review.

The Conroe Guide from Anandtech recommended the Asus P5W DH as the only mobo to reach 400FSB - the Gigabyte DQ6 was not getting there. But I'm running one just now with 400FSB.

Reviews are a reference to start with. I prefer real life feedback. That's why I'm asking here.
