What People Say
excellent pcb , great price for a well built big company product.
from Tigerdirect.com
drivers seem to be stable of course it is an intel machine !overall it is a very nice board for use in a htpc / media pc.
from Mwave.com
it does have the newer atx2 .2 power connector which maked it incompatible with older powersupplies.
from Mwave.com
but i am not a big gamer and can't tell you the last time i used a floppy drive.
from Mwave.com
what else is to be expected, it's an intel board...
from Newegg.com
waste of a a perfectly overclockable conroe core for a gaming rig in my opinion, plant the c2d somwhere it can really run around!
from Newegg.com
if you're looking for an excellent, user-friendly, cost-effective base for a gaming rig that can perform very well but isn't too exotic, this is it.
from Newegg.com
it would have been nice if intel had indicated this in their installation instructions.
from Newegg.com
it supports up to the quad-core intels , stuff you probably shouldn't be buying right now, but it's nice to have the ability to upgrade.

at least for me i noticed major slow down on start up when i installed intel desktop utilites so i took it off.
