Update: This review has been updated with mention that ASRock plains to change the BIOS, and of course you can use a DVI-to-HDMI dongle for video out. In our rush to the Phenom II editor's day the scores also got flipped for a few numbers between the ASRock K10 and 780Full HD. Correct scores are now up.

With high profile launches of AMD's 780G and 790GX chipset some may forget that Nvidia also offers a very formidable integrated graphics solution as well with the GeForce 8200 and 8300. We've looked at a few of these boards so far and today we have another to look at with the ASRock K10N78-1394.

This ASRock board isn't a micro-ATX board as some might expect for a board with integrated graphics but instead is full ATX. The board uses Nvidia's GeForce 8200 chipset which is a little below their GeForce 8300 chipset which is also out right now.

The ASRock features solid state capacitors, supports CPUs up to 140W so the most power hungry AMD has out so far, features ASRock Duracrap for longer life, and ASRock states is AM3 CPU ready. Obviously there are no AM3 CPUs out yet but we should start seeing them in the market in the new year. A 2.6GHz Hypertransport Bus is feature on this new Nvidia chipset.

Other features include Hybrid SLI which allows for the integrated graphics to work with additional Nvidia graphics card in the PCI-E slot for of course SLI, DX10 support, DDR2 1066 memory, and decoding of H.264 HD content.

Onboard expansion inculdes 6 SATA ports, a Firewire header, 4 DDR2 memory slots, three PCI slots, two PCI-Express, one 16X PCI-E slot, and one IDE connector.

External includes one Gigabit Ethernet port, six USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 mouse and keyboard port, E-SATA port, Firewire port, VGA output, DVI output, and 7.1 analog audio output. There is no HDMI video output so HTPC enthusiasts this might not be the right board for you but a DVI-to-HDMI dongle can address this.

The hardware bundle is the basics with two SATA cables, a molex-to-SATA power adapter, IDE cable, floppy cable, and I/O shield.
