black edition chips should be paired with 790fx / 790gx chipsets to maximize performance.2) it's not fair to flame a product without contacting the manufacturer's tech support first; chances are, from Newegg.com it has good features for being a budget, micro-atx motherboard, and again runs well. from Newegg.com i paired it with a 4850e, 2gb geil ddr2800 and an 8500gt.i haven't used the onboard video, but everything else works great.i installed the windows 7 beta, and i did not even need to load the driver from Newegg.com you can overclock so it's good for those gamers too but since it doesn't have pcie 2.0 x16 slots, you can't really get any of the new video cards. from Newegg.com other thoughts: this is obviously not a gamers board, but it's no slouch either. from Newegg.com was actually surprised at how well the onboard graphics look; counter-strike source runs seamlessly (although i suppose it is a pretty old game), but well have to wait and see how left 4 dead works. from Newegg.com if you are looking to play games, you'll want to upgrade to discrete graphics or get a 780g or 790gx motherboard. from Newegg.com if you in the market for a budget motherboard, this is a good pick.(btw, my rig plays games like cod4, ut3, hl2 and wow all on high settings at over 30fps!!) from Newegg.com the audio ports perform adequately, again based on my intended uses, and the board supported it's advertised cpu without a hitch.the bios is easy to navigate and features are clearly labeled and easy from Newegg.com overclocking features in the bios make it easy. from Newegg.com
