Waste of money .it looks like a key ring without the key ring part. Total con for over £8.

AOpen AK79D - 40 Max
The board has had rave reviews on various websites and is feature packed. It was bought to replace my previous Soltek Nforce 2 mobo that had snuffed it. The board although not new in term of tech but aquired as a new unused item. It features Sata and Ide connections and the first problem to appear was the need to load a sata driver during the install of Windows XP, if you plan to use sata drives instead of ide - the problem is the need to use a floppy drive - not many folk have them installed these days and trying to use a usb laptop floppy drive will not work at this point - I know I tried that! So its dig out the floppy drive and start again. After a few attempts I found it best to set the mobo to default BIOS setting and get windows installed. Tip here once windows is installed get it activated ASAP because I found that if you don't and the internal clock resets in the bios - for whatever reason windows will assume the 30 day activation window for Window XP had expired and it will lock up - not good if you have not set up a network or internet connection before hand to allow windows to reset its activation you are stuffed - unless you fancy phoning Microsoft and explaining matters to them!
To be fair this could happen to any mobo and is not just this one. This board is a good example of what was made at the time Athlon XP chips were being phased out, while the replacements were still too dear for main stream buyers to afford. Its right to call it one of last Athlon XP Aopen mobos made.
As forthe board, its feature packed and takes a bit of graft to get it to do its stuff, but the end result is super.

AMD Athlon XP 3000+
1 of 1 found this helpful Today AMD seeme to have lost the plot somewhat and everyone seems to have gone over the to darkside (why do folk consider Intel the dark side!!!), yes I have too joined the Dual core band. But I still use AthlonXP systems and presently have a couple in use - A shuttel look alike and a MATX Asus system, both use AthlonXP 3000+ and I once used the daddy of all Athlons the 3200+ which like and earlier poster remarkedstill goes for silly money. I can say that in general use there is no real difference between 3000+ and the 3200+. Although I have not done a test on speed during beteween the two, I'm pretty sure the the 3200+ has the edage over the 3000+.
Still its a good chip that holds it own in todays world - its fine if you want a PC that is used for ordinay things - the only downer will be a lack of a mainboard that supports the latest tech like PCI Express grapics cards or Esata support.
The days of the AthlonXP being a high end games system are well and truly over - sure you can sometimes get a AGP grapics card that still plays modern games well - but as a gaming system its past its best.
But as a general use machine or PVR its fine and cheap to knock up - in fact there are still a few AthlonXP mainboards on sale new if you are unsure of second-user mainboards.
