ASRock ALiveNF7G-HDReady

Conclusion:

While the ASRock ALiveNF7G-HDready hadn't overclocked very well in our configuration, this GeForce 7050 + nForce 630a motherboard as a whole was a rather nice package. The ALiveNF7G-HDready has integrated GeForce 7050 graphics with dual video output, HDCP functionality (software permitting), Gigabit ethernet, IEEE-1394a Firewire, 7.1 channel audio, and all of this is packaged on a micro ATX motherboard. This is not the motherboard for a dream system, but it could be an ideal candidate for an economically minded system or for a micro ATX media PC / HTPC. We had run into no compatibility problems under Linux or Solaris with this motherboard and it had performed competitively with the ASUS M2A-MVP motherboard. At the time of publishing, this motherboard can be found for roughly $90~100 USD.
