    Just looked in the bag of goodies that came w/ the biostar. It did come w/ a HDMI to DVI convertor, and the sVID is built on board. There was no Optical Out PCI bracket in the package. SOrry about that.. I didn't look closely at the back, i am still running some test with it on my workbench, and only using the VGA out.

    SAD

    Sad I checked the Biostar website, and a few retailers, and it says it comes with a SPDIF out bracket. Can anyone confirm this, was yours a retail board.
    Thanks

    Great review as always WindWithMe. I just ordered this motherboard for a replacement for a horrible DFi RS482 HTPC motherboard. 2 Gigs of Ram, loaded motherboard, X2 3600 for under 200 bucks. I'm lovin' it.

    Hey windwithme, have you tried the TF7025-M2? I'm working with that ATM and I can barely get 225MHz HTT?! What am I doing wrong?

    I have the TF560 AM2+ here. Once my AM2 cpu arrived, I will post some information

    Nicks it might be helpful posting bios screens with the relevant information. 225 sounds way too low.

    The TF7050-M2 is a fantastic motherboard. This is the highest HTT I was able to achieve though. 600MHz on pc5300 ram @ 2Volts ain't all bad either.

    Does anyone know of any overclocking software that works with this board? I've tried Glockgen,Systool,and A64 info and none work.

    I figured it out. Somehow even though the RAM was running @ under spec, some alpha timings were affecting HTT OC. Once I adjusted them it's fine, now I'm running 316x9.5 24/7

    NickS,if it' not the problem,can you list those timings and the settings you used to overcome the HTT OC issue?
