With PCI Express? For $77.00? WTF? Why is it so cheap? Input please.

b4 anyone gives u the real answer ill take a guess... maybe its cause, once thy add to much stuff to one bourd it turns into a piece of junk

I saw AGP only, not PCI express.

If not mistake, normal 939 mobo support dual ram.
But this 1 only single channel.
The rest all normal stuffs thats y so cheap.

yeah it didn't say PCI-E I also saw it just say AGP 8x......but is it just giving you the option of having either or can you run the processors at the same time?

it looks a bit dodgey to me, how could a motherboard support a CPU that has more pins the socket has, and even if you had an adaptor, it would be limited to the performance of the CPU with less pins...

you can have dual channel, but only if you are using a socket 939 processor.(i am assuming you can use both and get dual channel)
