Asrock A330ION motherboard reviewed



This review is originally in French. (Google Translation)



The Asrock A330ION was compared to the Intel N330, Gigabyte N270, Via NANO, Intel GM45 with E2160 and the ASRock Nettop ION330.




The benchmarks that were tested are PCmark 2005, 3Dmark05/06, WinRAR and Street Fighter 4.



The A330ION can be overclocked as well, the CPU-Z result for the atom 330(stock speed 1.6GHz) was 2004MHz (12x167), more than 20% !




In the WinRAR bench it proved to be better than its competitors the ASRock A330 with 112 seconds was ahead of the Intel N330 with 139 seconds,the gigabyte N270 with 170 seconds and even ahead of the ASRock Nettop ION330 that comressed the files in 114 seconds, this is because the the Nettop has DDR2-800 memory while the Asrock A330ION has DDR3-1066 memory.

In the Windows Experience Index it had a score of 4.0 which can be considered quite good.




PROS:
Layout, overclocking, power consumption and performance.

CONS:
Noisy fan, Price.
