ASRock Motherboard Preview August 2006
The newest ASRock Motherboards
The new ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN Motherboard ...
Here's another new interesting feature from ASRock.
Because the current ALiveSATA2-GLAN Motherboard offers a special digital
HDMI_SPDIF audio output
to be attached directly to a HDMI VGA card and thus allows watching high-quality
HDMI videos.
The board is according to ASRock AMD LIVE! Ready and Microsoft Windows
Vista Premium tested.
The picture of the video card was connected with the DVI-D output to
a HDMI LCD TV.
Unfortunately the HDMI demo file had to be played from the hard disk,
because there was no necessary Blue Ray
drive available for the showcase.
