Sapphire 9100igp RS300-AA38 motherboard

The ATX cable connector is placed on the side of the motherboard for easy mounting. This motherboard does not come with Raid but on the right picture we have the standard IDE connectors
with a floppy connector (the white one to the left on the picture).

The silicon image SATA chipset as on "all" motherboards :)
The right picture shows the very interesting thing with this motherboard, it's the ATI chipset. I'm very curious how it will perform compared to the Intel chipsets.

The AGP slot has a locking mechanism as we can see. You just slide the card in and it locks the card from moving and falling out.
On the right picture we have the heatsink on the nortbridge which is fanless so the motherboard will stay quiet. ATI has taken the opportunity to make some commercial
for themselves on the heatsink, by placing their logo on it.

The back I/O connectors are pretty much standard as we can see. On the left Ps/2 and two USB connectors. To the right LPT1, seriell connector and the video card connector. Yes this card has built in graphics.
The video card is a Radeon 9200 and has 128 mb memory. It works but it's no super card :).

There is a few more ports left and these are a few more USB ports, LAN and the sound ports. The soundcard is fairly good and sounds great so you don't have to buy a separate Soundblaster Live or anything
if you are not to picky :)
Bios:

Very nice and easy navigation in this familiar Phoenix award bios. On the left picture we have the main screen. The right one shows the overclocking menu which offers
fairly much different settings. I miss the voltage menu and it seems like you cannot change the voltage on this board which is a pity since that will not attract overclockers.

Pc health menu is shown above. It shows the voltage and temperatures. You can also see the RPM of the fans if they are installed onto a motherboard
3 pin connector. 18C on a P4 2,4 ghz, man these P4“s run cool :)
