ASRock 890GX Pro3: Fitur Melimpah dengan Harga Terjangkau

Akhir-akhir ini banyak isu bertebaran mengenai prosesor terbaru AMD yaitu Bulldozer dan Llano yang akan segera diluncurkan akhir tahun ini. Di event Computex 2011, sudah mulai bermunculan motherboard-motherboard dengan chipset AMD terbaru yang akan mendukung prosesor tersebut. Walau begitu, bukan berarti motherboard dengan chipset lama tidak akan mendukung prosesor tersebut.

ASRock yang terus mengisi jajaran motherboard mereka dengan tipe-tipe terbaru meng-klaim motherboard terbaru mereka akan memiliki dukungan prosesor dengan socket AM3+ yang merupakan prosesor baru yang akan diluncurkan kemudian oleh AMD.  Salah satu motherboard tersebut adalah ASRock 890GX Pro3. Apa saja fitur baru yang disematkan di board ini?

Kemasan dan Paket Penjualan

Kemasan yang digunakan ASRock kali ini cukup simpel, yaitu sebuah dus berwarna abu-abu seperti seri terbaru lainnya. Di dalamnya, Anda akan menemukan sebuah motherboard dengan aksesori pelengkap.

Di seri ini, aksesori pelengkap yang diberikan ASRock tergolong minim. Aksesori yang disertakan hanya berupa sepasang kabel SATA, I/O Shield, CD Driver, dan beberapa manual book.
