Pros: A very solid product, works as advertised. For what it does, it does a very good job at doing it. Cons: Skimps a bit on features, but is this really a con? from Newegg.com Pros: High quality motherboard. Dual bios is great to play with OC'ing while allowing you to mess up, and always have your settings backed up. from Newegg.com Pros: It's a solid little motherboard. Has everything you could need on a mATX mobo. from Newegg.com boot up right away. Cons: only 2 ram slot. only 2 pci slots. only 1 ide controller Other Thoughts: easy configuration and setup from Newegg.com Pros: Great board! Wrote an earlier review using this board as a strictly W7rc machine, but have since turned it into a hackintosh / W7rc (soon to be W7) machine. from Newegg.com Pros: Nice budget board, good sata placement, support for core 2 Proc's make this a super budget buy. It also supports the sckt 775 P4's, so you can always upgrade later if $ is tight. from Newegg.com Pros: Great price. Had the serial port I still like to use. from Newegg.com Pros: cheap and has lots of integrated parts. Cons: DOA out of box. Other Thoughts: 2nd mobo was also DOA. spend the extra money and get the ga-ep45-udr3. from Newegg.com Pros: this is a great board for $60, upgraded from my Intel d946gzis board due to a bios issue with it, great little over clocker, got my 2.0ghz cpu running at 2.7ghz and the ram @ 883mhz, can handle up to quad cores so u can build a quick little machine for a good price, on board gpu " gma 3100 " is pretty decent runs windows 7 aero fine, can decode movies, in all a great board for the price Cons: nothing really, having some ide problems, not to sure if its the controller of my dvd drive, thats about it, still rate it 5 stars Other Thoughts: couldn't update the bios through flash drive, that was my own problem, but with there online bios update it was easy : )waiting to put a dual / quad core in there and it will be a rocket current pc specs:Intel Celeron D 440 2.0Ghz @ 2.7Ghz2Gb DDR2 667Mhz @ 883MhzGIGABYTE G31Seagate 250Gb 8Mb - SataCooler Master cpu cooler .. not sure of modelAntec Tri Cool - 120mm2 Generic case fans 80mmLG DVD RAM Drive - IDEGeneric Case from Newegg.com Pros: Out of the box this mobo was an easy install and included the basics to make a new computer build easy and quick.
