Pros: This board was a replacement for an aging 939 board/chip and it replaced it easily along with one of the new Athlon II x4 chips. There were no complications and the drivers worked off the CD. The included utilities from Foxconn made quick work of updating the BIOS to the latest release. The overclocking utility appears slick but I haven't even gotten that far. from Newegg.com Pros: It didn't come DOA and this is the second Foxconn mobo that i have bought. I fried the old one playing crysis with the integrated graphics. from Newegg.com Pros: so this is a replacement mobo that foxconn sent me via rma see my other mobo was the a7gm-s and the upgraded me to this one and i like them both... great mobos simple desgin and easy to use... from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: Newegg emailed me a UPS label the next day. Thanks! I am looking forward to a working Foxconn Mobo. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: Runs windows 7 and home server just fine. Great price for a great board. Foxconn makes most of the motherboards for Dell and several other major manufacturers so if they trust 'em, so do I. from Newegg.com HDMI recognized without any issues. Cheap but reliable board. Will buy Foxconn again. Cons: Placement of onboard SATA is not very good. from Newegg.com I spent the money on Crucial memory to avoid memory issues. Cons: I wish this mobo had eSATA. Other Thoughts: AMD 9600, FoxConn A7GM-S 2.0, Crucial memory from Newegg.com Windows 7 grades the onboard ATI video at 5.1 for gaming graphics; totally rad. Cons: Both the utility and driver disks arn't compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. Luckily, the correct drivers were automatically installed - I imagine Foxconn will get that fixed stat. Documentation is fairly extensive, but grammar sucks. from Newegg.com Pros: Its a Foxconn What more could you ask for the onboard video is amazing i play world of warcraft on it and in Dalaran i get no less than 32fps im running OCZ Fatal1ty 2gig 500gig STATA AMD Phenom X3 Vista Ult. and a Thermaltake Black Widow 450ps Cons: has a bit of trouble running a SATA main and 2 IDE at the same time if you do not have things set p right in the bios Other Thoughts: Over all GREAT PRODUCT For the pirce i give it AAA+++ from Newegg.com We got good graphics performance without the addition of the 3450 Video Card but decided to max it's current potential using all its medium Features, yes we could get a better graphics card but for what we want to use this pc we have exactly what we want and it performs better than expected. Will post my specs in other thoughts, solidly reccomend this as a HTPC for HDTV using HDMI which works great btw as does the spdif out for digital sound, my sound system doesn't have HDMI passthrough so now need to upgrade that system but we tested the sound through hdmi on tv works fabu. Cons: it doesn't brew coffee or make popcorn Other Thoughts: Best feature on driver disc is Foxconn update helps u get & install latest drivers & bios a real plus. This board with a better video card would be great for some heavy gaming with the 3450 in hybrid sli mode you will get good gaming on some games pre 2007 and even some modern games just don't expect to play Crysis or Fallout 3. from Newegg.com
