Bought this awhile back when I was building my computer,has worked great and it was very easy to install,I had no problems installing the motherboard itself,only the processor cooler that came with my core duo processor gave me much trouble. Also,the cd that comes with the motherboard is great for overclockers/gamers as it has features for that,as well as changing your start-up picture,HD Audio (!!!!!!) theres a few other neat programs that come with the cd,but it isn't mandatory,but I would make sure you get all the driver/software updates ASAP. from Amazon.com I bought this mother board because it can handle 8Gb of memory and has all the other features I wanted. It installed easily and the documentation is surprisingly good. from Amazon.com Pros: The board works! Great for OSx86... from Newegg.com Pros: Price and ease of install. Installed it with a Q9400 Quad CPU with 4gb memory. from Newegg.com Pros: Paired with a Q8300 and 4GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066. BIOS has a recent revision so it saw the processor just fine. from Newegg.com Pros: A very nice budget OC'able board. I have been using Gigabyte boards for about 6 years and they have all be excellent quality. from Newegg.com Pros: Seems like a generally well made board Cons: Poorly attached chipset heat sync. On board LAN mysteriously stops working. from Newegg.com Pros: Great features for price. Supports tools for BIOS updates and settings from Windows. from Newegg.com Pros: Pretty much plug and play. If you know how to plug something in, this motherboard should work for you Cons: Non Other Thoughts: Didn't touch anything in the bio; plugged everything in and booted up without any problem. from Newegg.com Pros: It's cheap, and allows overclocking. Cons: I've actually got the EP35 implementation of this board, but judging by the comments not much has changed in the new edition. from Newegg.com
