That's not a Socket A to Socket 754 converter at all. It's just a
socket A motherboard that has an upgrade slot that you can plug in a
Socket 754 daughterboard into!

So this doesn't allow you to plug an Athlon 64 into your existing Socket
A system. ASRock expects that you might want to buy this board with an
Athlon XP now so you have an Athlon 64 upgrade path--by spending
additional money for their daughterboard. But with nForce3 250-based
S754 boards running for as little $75 online, what's the point? You
have to buy a new CPU either way.

Nifty little board. So let's say I buy a 754 3200+ with this board today.
Now 1 year down the road I want a 4200+ 939. Ok, just pull the old cpu and
plug in the new. But I'm still stuck with the same board with no new
features that will have come along, and now I've also got an extra cpu.
Some may like this, but it's not for me. And I don't know anything about
the Ali chipset. Is it as good as the NF3-250?

These two would leave me in the same boat as the above, but I'd have to
buy the upgrade board for each. Some may find these upgrade paths
attractive, but no way would I buy any of these boards. And I do have an
Asrock K7S8XR3 board now. And it's worked great for me.

If desktop mobos were selling for $300 it might be a good idea, but
boards are so cheap today, and every other day their adding more
features and better performance to the new models, maybe there is a
market for these, they must of done some research on it?, but hell
whatever it takes to sell more AMD chips and make AMD money is A-OK with
me! ;p

I never said it was a converter, I just provided a working link.... it looks
like a pointless idea to me.

Say the motherboard is $70 and the daughterboard $20. A poverty guy with a
socket A chip is building a new computer. He's longing after a sempron 3100
or A 64 2800 but waiting for prices to drop more.

It perfect for him.

I think the Asrock 754/939 will be sis. Their sis 745 board is well-loved by
user reviewers on newegg.

They say it's fast and stable. But it doesn't have good overclocking
options.

I think it has cool and quiet activated.

That's why I didn't get the Asrock 754 board. The Jetway S755MAX is the
only SIS based board I found that's got what I wanted, and more. Don't
know about their 745 board, but I've got a K7S8XR3 board with the 746FX
chipset that's great. I think their latest chips for the K7 was the 748.

Here are some links to reviews you should probably read:

CnQ, yes. get manual here.

ftp://61.30.14.91/manual/

It appears their main website (www.jetway.com.tw) is down. I don't no why
the manual adn bioses aren't on the jetwaycomputer.com site. Maybe they
are changing to the new name since jetway.com belongs to the aircraft
jetway people.:)

I downloaded the manual for the S755MAX and there is absolutely no
reference to 'Cool-n-Quiet"

I don't find it either.

Does it lock the pci/agp buses?

So the S755MAX has no multiplier control, or are all a-64 boards like that?

I don't see any reference to locking either. I think nVidia was the
only one with bus locking in the nForce 3 250Gb chipset.

Look at page 32 & 33. You can go from 200 to 233MHZ. So, if you were
running a 3000+ that normally runs at 2000MHz you could overclock it to
2333MHz.

I did, that's how I know it has no multiplier control.

Further, it doesn't answer my question, which was "all a-64 boards are like
that"?

Thimk 1st, Chief! ;-)
