| laser030's Full Review: Leadman Electronic Co. FIC PA-2013 |
I built myself a computer for under $500 so I was on a tight budget. When it came time to upgrade, I had no end to the problems with this M/B. It doesn't support most new video cards and has constant IRQ routing conflicts. Unless you can get a revision 2.1 I would not buy this card. Tech support is awful. If you only need to go online or not need many peripherals, this is OK, if you want performance and upgradablility, go with an Intel or A-Bit. If you get a non 2.1 Revision, it cannot support faster than 350 mhz, and windows 95 has problems with 350-450 without update which CAN ONLY BE RUN FROM WINDOWS! When I bought it it was advertised as supporting Voodoo 3, TNT2 and others, after looking for updates for IRQ problems (hard to find,but at their site) I discovered it did not support voodoo 3 or other new video cards. DO NOT BUY!!!!
