Hey, I needed to know if the Asrock K7S41GX is compatible with PCI-X technology. Someone told me it has to do with the BIOS, but I dont know if the BIOS of this mobo is compatible with PCI-X. Would like to have some help.

Friend, 15 seconds of my time, and Google, have provided this:
http://www.asrock.com/product/product_k7s41gx.htm It is clearly a Socket462 (Socket 'A') motherboard, supporting Athlon CPUs and AGP graphics boards.
It has SiS integrated video, but can also run AGP 8x.
It does not support PCI-eXpress (or 400DDR FSB, or PC3200 RAM).
This motherboard is state-of-the-art circa 2003 :^)
It will run any AthlonXP with 166 (333DDR) FSB, which is any Athlon except the XP3200+.
The XP3200+ runs 200 x 11 = 2200MHz and is the only AthlonXP to run 200 (400DDR) FSB.
So, you could use this mobo with almost any AMD AthlonXP, and PC3200 memory run synchronously @ DDR333 (PC2700 speed).
Extinct? Well yes, officially it is but if you have an Athlon CPU needing a home, you're in business (you cannot buy them any more).
And no PCI-X.

Hey I hear new SLI boards have 2x16 SLI :^)
When it first came out people said 'PCI eXpress' which has been written PCI-E or PCI-X, but whatever, that mobo doesn't have it.
