ASRock AMD A55 PRO3 ATX Motherboard (DDR3)

The ASRock A55 PRO3 is a motherboard designed for AMD processors, offering a robust platform for building a desktop computer. It supports a wide range of AMD CPUs, including the A8, A6, A4, E2, Athlon, and Sempron series, making it suitable for both budget and mid-range systems. The motherboard is built around the AMD A55 FCH (Hudson-D2) chipset, which provides efficient performance and compatibility with modern storage and connectivity standards.

With two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, the A55 PRO3 allows for multi-GPU configurations, including support for AMD Quad CrossFireX and CrossFireX technologies. This makes it ideal for users looking to maximize graphics performance. Additionally, it includes one PCIe 2.0 x1 slot and three PCI slots, offering flexibility for expansion cards such as sound cards or network adapters.

Storage options are extensive, with two SATA3 ports and five SATA2 ports, supporting RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations. The inclusion of an eSATA2 port further enhances connectivity for external storage devices. The motherboard also features a comprehensive set of ports for peripherals and connectivity, including 10 USB 2.0 ports (four on the rear panel and six via headers), two USB 3.0 ports, two PS/2 ports, one VGA port, one HDMI port, one optical SPDIF out, one eSATA2 port, one RJ45 LAN port, and audio I/O jacks.

Power delivery is handled by a 24-pin main power connector and an 8-pin CPU power connector, ensuring stable power supply to the system and the CPU respectively. The form factor is ATX, which is standard for most desktop builds and provides ample space for cooling solutions and additional components.

The memory support includes four DDR3 DIMM slots, compatible with speeds up to 2400 MHz (overclocked), 1866 MHz (overclocked), 1600 MHz (overclocked), 1333 MHz, 1066 MHz, and 800 MHz. This versatility allows users to choose memory that best fits their performance needs and budget.
