 | The Foxconn A690GM2MA 8KRS2H MicroATX motherboard offers with the new AMD 690G
chipset an onboard graphics solution with DVI and Sub-D VGA ouput, as well as internal TV-Out connection.
The ATI Radeon 1200 series is by far not comparable with current PCIe video cards,
however it offers sufficient performance for office applications and thanks to the provided
Microsoft Windows Vista drivers it's possible to build an inexpensive Vista based PC platform.
There're some deficits regarding overclocking, but this shouldn't be essential to build a HTPC.
All strengths and weaknesses of the new A690GM2MA-8KRS2H motherboard are shown
in the following test report ...

 | Most overclockers like to compare their computer performance with other results
after successful PC overclocking.
For this, one uses a few benchmark programs and compare the results.
But how to compare, if no similar PC equipment is available in the software?
Now there is an extensive Benchmark Database additionally to the huge
OC-Database which contains already over 10000 entries.
You can compare the results of several well-known tools:
Futuremark 3DMark06, 05, 03 and 01, as well as Aquamark and Super PI.
The database is updated like the oc database each night,
so the profile entry is visible on the next morning.
Much pleasure with the performance comparison.

I don't hold any responsibility for any damage caused by overclocking.
There is always a risk of damaging your hardware.
And your warranty becomes void if you overclock something.
