    I had a different board with white PCB, a Sapphire Socket 939 board which was almost a direct clone of a DFI board but with even more memory voltage available The older boards really looked quite nice - even when Gigabyte got their colours from an email meant for the watalotigot factory and used it for their motherboards

    The Asrock motherboards with the cards to allow the use of a different CPU socket (and memory type in the AM2 upgrade) always intrigued me.
