    4 out of 5 stars Great Board   November 14, 2008
    Hyrax
    Pros: BIOS with a lot of options than I am used to. Has an option that slows down the processor to save energy and cool it down.

    Con: Had an issue installing the heatsink of my Intel e7300 processor. Don't know if this is a motherboard or processor issue, but I think I was able to fix it.

    Overall: Very reccomended board. Over 200 reviewed purchases from a competing site. I bought it because of the many great reviews and was not disappointed.



    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Board for basic build   March 27, 2008
    Mackowitz (California)
    I needed a motherboard that would allow for overclocking in the BIOS, had integrated video, and supported quad core processors. This board meets all those requirements. Currently running an Intel E2180 processor at 9x333 = 3.0ghz on this board with Linux 64 bit. Needed a slight bump up in the CPU voltage to be stable, but no complaints. For $76 Board + $57 for the CPU + $20 2GB Ram, I've got a 3.0ghz Dual Core for about $150. Great value there. Will probably get a second soon for an Intel Q6600 that is on the way.

    One the con with this board, the latest BIOS doesn't have a lot of memory divider options. My processor is a 200mhz FSB, so when I overclock to FSB 333, the lowest setting I can run my RAM at is 444 mhz (DDR2 889). Not a problem if you have good RAM (or if not overclocking), but something to note if you plan to overclock. My Gigabyte P35-DS3L has many more memory divider options, making overclocking less difficult on that board (but that board also costs more, uses more power, and requires video card)



    5 out of 5 stars Great motherboard for simple PCs   March 12, 2008

    Most gamers will only need one PCI-e slot, and no more than 4GB of ram, either no more than two hard drives, this motherboard is perfect, it is compatible with high-end CPU as well as PCI-e video cards and it won't eat space, however watch for ventilation, compact high-end PCs most be well ventilated.

    It comes with built in VGA support, so you don't need a GPU to support graphics.
