Great solution for those who want to upgrade their CPU and MB, but wants to wait with the graphics card. |
Yup. It's called ASRock 4COREDUAL-VSTA. Got one last week.  |
actually there is a performance loss and a MAJOR one, your pci express slot will only run at 4x while regular pcie slots run at x16 so your slot will be bottlenecking your video card big time

go with that 939 and u can get a fx60 for under 250$ these days but its still ddr , i recommened waiting a few more months for amds quadcore (intel quads suck compared to amd quads

No, there isn`t any performance loss, not acording to Legit review.
I also have Asrock Dual VSTA 775 (almoust the same, as 4CORE VSTA), and I get the same results with X800GTO2 as my friend, who has the same CPU (pentium d 805 @ 3.8ghz) and gfx card, but has an asus mb with 16x pci-e.

So what did we see during our tests? Other than 3DMark our 7900GTX performed nearly the same on both boards despite the ASRock only having a 4x PCI-E slot. It?s extremely doubtful that you?d be able to tell what motherboard was being used if you couldn?t peek inside the case.
