Pros: Not sure, haven't installed it yet -- will amend the review after I get it running. But given the "con" below, I don't expect this to get more than 4 eggs even if it makes me breakfast in the morning. from Newegg.com Pros: very cool runing board, five fan headers, 8 sata ports two are controlled by a gigabyte controler. runs am3 cpus including the 955 supports memory higher then 1066 Cons: none from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent Crossfire platform Cons: Ignorant reviewers/owners who tarnish the reputation of a highly capable motherboard. Other Thoughts: This motherboard is NOT "billed" as SLI ready because it isn't capable of running SLI. from Newegg.com Pros: Looks great , runs coolRecommended on Tomshardware as top board for 955Required BIOS up date to run 955BEMight be decent board but still have issues Cons: I have always used ASUS board but based on Toms hardware I thought I would give Gigabyte a try. This board is not for first timers- it took me hours of time just to get a stable system. from Newegg.com Pros: Dual BIOS!Onboard (blue-lit) buttons - pwr, rst, clr cmos!AM3 & DDR3!!!2 PCI-E 2.0 x16!!! FULL - two PCI-E video cards? from Newegg.com Pros: Has everything on it already, no need to add stuff, easy to set up IF you are already familiar with Gigabytes method, namely ctrl-F1 to access the advanced CPU and memory tweaks. Does unlock the extra cores on my X2-550 processor but I had to use Hybrid, look for it in the ACC section of the biosThere is enough space between my Crossfire 4870 cards so the top card now gets enough airflow unlike the Asrock board this one replaced. from Newegg.com Pros: This board is really cool, and does its purpose at a very good cost. The 790FX is a nice chip and is really something for amd to be proud of. from Newegg.com Pros: 1. Very Stable2. from Newegg.com Pros: -Options Options Options-Settings for everything-I am pretty sure this board is one of the top boards you can buy for an amd system. Cons: -None Other Thoughts: Great board for a Great system, everything works flawlessly from Newegg.com Pros: This board worked right out of the box. Nice tweaking options in the BIOS. from Newegg.com
