Pros: Good Layout and documentation Cons: Board will not install Windows XP. I found some thing online that said that the only XP that can be installed are retail disks version SP3. from Newegg.com Cons: No POST. No BEEPS at all at power on. CPU fan spun up no problem, so power was getting to the MB. No video on power up. from Newegg.com I have to send this one back as well and I'm still without a computer. My advice is stay away from this one, and spend a little more money on a quality board. Intel scraped the bottom with this one. Other Thoughts: I have been a technician for over 12 years and have custom built Rigs for famous clients and everyday customers that have set the standards on Benchmarks. from Newegg.com Pros: Intel Board - good reputation which is why I bought it Cons: Board will not boot1. Two beeps on boot - Intel website indicates a memory parity error. from Newegg.com Pros: Have purchased many of these boards for system builds. They are great boards for customers who prefer Intel HW. Very reliable, have had zero failures. from Newegg.com Pros: Nice compact micro ATX motherboard, has an IDE connector (saved me from having to buy a sata DVD burner), 4 sata ports, good onboard audio (fine for gaming), is fully compatible with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (9.04 Jaunty), PCI Express x16. CMOS battery is perpendicular to the motherboard, never seen that before, but it looks cool. from Newegg.com Pros: Cost is low and it's Intel so you have the best support. Bought this board to use as a file server. from Newegg.com Cons: I have 3 of these boards so far , but have only built one so far, bios boots seem sluggish, even after bios update, motherboard speaker beeps upon boot up, just to let you know that it is boot, not because of an error. No error logs. Been building intel motherboard systems for 4-5 years now, and don't see the bios bootup beep often here lately. Odd. from Newegg.com Pros: Cost is low and it's Intel so you have the best support. Bought this board to use as a file server. from Newegg.com This build has a Q9650 in it. Runs fast. Cons: I have 3 of these boards so far , but have only built one so far, bios boots seem sluggish, even after bios update, motherboard speaker beeps upon boot up, just to let you know that it is boot, not because of an error. No error logs. from Newegg.com
