Pros: This board has lots of great features that are listed, like the 4 SATA and 1 PATA (6 drives total), dual video output, etc etc. Unlike some of the boards that compete with this one, though, there are other great features:- 2 extra USB headers, for e.g. from Newegg.com Pros: Solid motherboard. Onboard video is enough for the normal user (non-gaming), supports HD-video. from Newegg.com Pros: Added E5200 processor, Kingston PC-6400 RM, Windows XP home. Loaded MSI XP drivers and utilities. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Intel G41 feature set - more to come soon later after I load Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) on it. There is a s/pdif header that can be connected to anexternal bracket (but, no bracket is supplied). from Newegg.com Pros: A reliable motherboard with plenty of USB capability. Cons: Only one slot for RAM per channel so max them out if your going for something high end. from Newegg.com Pros: Added E5200 processor, Kingston PC-6400 RM, Windows XP home. Loaded MSI XP drivers and utilities. Working good so far. from Newegg.com Pros: Great Intel G41 feature set - more to come soon later after I load Linux (Ubuntu 8.10) on it. There is a s/pdif header that can be connected to anexternal bracket (but, no bracket is supplied). from Newegg.com Cons: only 2 ram slots....thats about it..... Other Thoughts: I hate intel heatsinks....have to bolt them on/use brackets and all kinds of junk...at least AMD allows for easier heatsink attachment... If your looking for a decent priced good performing motherboard, this is a great choice. I threw 2 GB of ballistix 1066 ram, and an HD 3850 on it and it is great for games and HD video. from Newegg.com Pros: None Yet, had it for 2-3 hrs to determine its DOA Cons: DOA from Newegg.com Pros: Solid motherboard. Onboard video is enough for the normal user (non-gaming), supports HD-video. from Newegg.com
