Pros: cheap Cons: board will not post completely using e7400 Core 2 Duo, detects cpu, ram, video sharing, then nothing. Keyboard unresponsive. Other Thoughts: Have built many systems using Biostar boards, second RMA in 10 years, what is going on at Biostar these days? from Newegg.com Pros: About the only pro you can give it is the price point. Cons: This is the first time a Biostar board has failed me. from Newegg.com Pros: - Solid board for the price. Some bells, some whistles (not a lot though, don’t get excited)- Biostar support was responsive, although they did not directly solve the issue I was experiencing, I received an email response quickly, as well as a person answering phone when I called. That alone was impressive.- Vista x64 loaded effortlessly. from Newegg.com Pros: About the only pro you can give it is the price point. Cons: This is the first time a Biostar board has failed me. I use them constantly for budget builds for family and friends but this one just gave me problems from the start. from Newegg.com Pros: booted up at first try. really tiny mobo and the fact that overclocking is so simple, its like a beginners motherboard.works great on an 20 pin motherboard power connector. Cons: hmm... from Newegg.com Pros: Bought 2 of these other one for my friend. We're using the celeron-dual core 1.6G @ 3.2G peice of cake first BSEL 800 ->1066 ->1333 then easy 1600FSB from Newegg.com Cons: board will not post completely using e7400 Core 2 Duo, detects cpu, ram, video sharing, then nothing. Keyboard unresponsive. Other Thoughts: Have built many systems using Biostar boards, second RMA in 10 years, what is going on at Biostar these days? from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap price good for a budget build & easy for a novice to set-up and get going. Covers the basics (I think) of what you'd want in a budget PC. from Newegg.com Pros: cheap. I paid $59 combo with celeron 430. from Newegg.com I am getting memory errors due to incorrect memory voltage. No place in BIOS to adjust memory voltage. Other Thoughts: I contacted BioStar Support and asked about whether a new BIOS might be released with memory (RAM) voltage control. They replied "Try other brands of memory". from Newegg.com
