 Very Impressive For The Price October 25, 2008
J. Fazio (Nassau County, New York)
Inexpensive "all-in-one" motherboards typically do not deliver great performance. But, I've found this one to be an exception. I'm using it in a media center PC with an AMD X2 3.0 Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM and running 64 bit Vista Premium Edition.
-It is 100% compatible with Vista and delivers quick, flawless performance.
-The onboard graphics capabilities are very good.
-Performance is good even with tasks that are very demanding of system resources such as watching/recording Blu-ray DVD and editing video.
-Very good, modern bios. PC started up without a hitch right out of the box without having to adjust anything.
-Bios supports S3 sleep mode so the PC can be woken up very quickly. This is a particulary important feature on a media center PC that you turn on with a IR remote control.
 Defaults to DVI July 29, 2008

I bought this elsewhere. The price was about the same as Amazon. It worked fine right out of the box and I am happy with it. The reason for my comment is just a word of warning. The default video setting is DVI. So if you don't have a DVI-D connector on your monitor, it will look like the board is defective.
BTW, you don't need the $79.00 gold plated DVI cable that Circutit City sells (grrrr). My $20 cable works just fine.
Good Board - Make sure it is right for you! June 9, 2008

Good board.
1. Not a first choice for overclocking but you can squeeze a little something out of it if you need it ;-)
2. Only ONE IDE controller, so if you want to re-use older drives, make sure that you understand that you will only be able to use TWO drives! In my case I was using SATA drives so it didn't matter.
3. Layout is good, even though it is a small board, you'll be able to use extra long video cards without bumping anything on else the mainboard.
4. Drives are pretty good, I installed Windows XP on this system, didn't need to go hunting for updates or anything like that.
5. Performance is good with the AMD 4400+, 1GB Kingston RAM, an Nvidia 7600GT (256MB) and a Seagate 160 GB SATA hard drive. Very stable. Plays Warcraft III at 1024x768 with all options set to HIGH ;-)
6. Doesn't come with a bunch of extras, just drivers Molex to SATA power cable and SATA data cable, floppy cable and IDE cable.
 Looks like a nice product May 15, 2008

DOA out of the Box. I must say that it's probably the worst type of MOBO to come DOA, ever try installing a Micro-ATX MOBO?
Everything powers up,all LED's on MOBO are green, yet no video out....
Disappointing.
Great Value and easy to install. April 28, 2008
