Bullet-proof BIOS, exceptionally stable, and excellent documentation. Cons: Pretty rudimentary video... this is no "gaming board". Would also be nice if it supported 2-gig dim's. from Newegg.com I have always used Intel motherboards.. they usually have no installation issues. from Amazon.com Pros: Nice inexpensive board with all the needed features and none of the useless ones. Cons: You CANNOT install Windows XP with a service pack 1 disc or a disc with no included service packs. You will get a blue screen of death during install. After slipstreaming my disc to SP3, my product key no longer worked, which is a huge pain in the neck to get straightened out. from Newegg.com Pros: Very stable as I pointed out. It has a good layout for the essential motherboard. If you need a reliable internet machine, this is it. from Newegg.com Pros: Low cost brand name motherboard, does what a motherboard it's supposed to do. Cons: It's the essential line (value) motherboards, meaning the amount of SATA ports is limited to two. from Newegg.com Period. Other Thoughts: Two observations that might help someone.1) The bios and the drivers sent with the board were about a year out of date. Easy to update them, however, on Intel's web site.2) My one goof in setting up the board was to install the drivers before I updated Windows. The USB mouse then failed to operate. from Newegg.com Pros: was low cost board Cons: DOA the video on the board did not work. tried on 2 monitors and I did not have a PCI video card to see if that was the only thing bad. from Newegg.com Pros: Fits right into the Supermicro 1U chassis without modification. Takes 800,1066,1333 fsb LGA775 procs. PXE support w/ great BIOS menu ( especially boot order section, very configurable ). from Newegg.com Pros: This is actually a decent no-thrills motherboard by Intel. Drivers are stable and it will run Vista64 and Aero in all it's glory, but not much else beyond office applications and web-surfing. from Newegg.com Pros: Great board for a basic or business system. Will accept most current processors from the lowly Celeron up to the Core2 Quads. from Newegg.com
