ASRock A780FullDisplayPort Utilities

You don&acirc;&euro;&trade;t get a lot of equipment, but we found the DVI to HDMI adapter to be valuable for HTPCs.

ASRock seems to assume that only geeks buy its products: We only found a quick installation guide, which is solid, but not very comprehensive.

Again, geeks only. Or would your uncle know what all these buzz words stand for? Geeks, however, now know that the feature set is rather comprehensive.

CPUZ confirms that a SB700 southbridge is used.

We took the screenshot at DDR2-800 speeds, but ran the benchmarks at DDR2-1066. Differences are small, though.
