My ass been rocked hard by ASROCK


Day 2, with crappy computer. Every since i lost my graphic card Geforce 6800GT i was force to use my old spare P4 2400 motherboard ASROCK M266A with intergrated S3 SAVAGE 3D graphics because i dont have any spare AGP graphic card to slot back into my main computer system AMD 3400+ on GIGABYTE K8N PRO motherboard.
The problem with the current temporary motherboard i'm using that is ASROCK M266A models is that i couldn't install S3 SAVAGE driver and also audio driver AC97 into Windows XP. It rejected and refuse to receive any driver from its own ASROCK company even if its already designated for its own models, flashing the bios to updated revision also couldn't help much. Other compatible driver also refused to install. The default driver installed was Microsoft compatible VGA graphics and unknown audio device status in system hardware marked as question on the spot. So for two days i couldn't enjoy any multimedia function, video, audio and couldn't get a simple 3d modelling application running like Z-modeler. This is sucks..ASROCK sucks! Never buy cheap intergrated motherboard from ASROCK. All i can do right now is surf the net...oh ya! this system lag and slow like snail even after stacking up 1GB of DDR3200 ram module...crap. I slot back 256MB module which run the same thing. This is nuts, its hard to live without any multimedia or at least 3d accelerated application running on my Windows. This is going to be sucky months for me. Maybe i'll just wait for my pay cheque and then grab me an ATI graphic card soon.
