"Good board for the price, Not a Gamer!"
Pros: Good price for a solid board
Cons: Bios Utility programs are cheap and unuseful to me.
Summary: I have been using this board for over a year now and have had good luck with the overall performance. The utilities that ship with it for tweaking the bios settings and temp monitoring is a little flakey. I tried to overclock the CPU (AMD 4400+) with little to no luck. I'm not much of an overclocking person anyway so that did not bother me when the util. did not work very well. It has a great bios with tons of settings for tweaking for games and such. Overall I have had good luck with it.

Can't update my own review so had to write here..
This board is a bit outdated in the gaming world. Though, with an 8800gt and a decent x2 and some good ram preferably 2 gb, you can blaze through Crysis at playable fps, to say the least. (1024x768 XP DX9, High Detail) ~30-40 fps at open places.
Now an update to my own review:
Running 10x320fsb rock stable (At 400fsb this happened: From cold; POST attempt#1 hung. Attempt #2 booted fine.)
Also loosened a few ram subtimings.
Glad to report that all these changes had no impact on Source stress test fps.
A great board to use while waiting for the next big thing to arrive in the mainboard industry.
