This motherboard is a great buy for casual users who are not thinking of overclocking or don't mind that only 1.8v memory seems to be the only way to max out your memory, the mother board does work as advertized.Works great with Core 2 Quad and 4 gig of memory, sound is acceptable.I found no problem with it, once I upgraded the bios, but I did have some problems with heat and bios malfunctions, once I downloaded and upgraged the bios all the problems where gone.There is a lot to like about this motherboard, just make sure you use 1.8v memory or you will have plenty of headaches.

Before you decide to buy this board and intend to use win XP you should know this:You will need to install that RAID/SATA driver into the hard disk before you boot to the XP installation, even if you have one hard drive. Otherwise the installation will stop. The problem is that this driver is on the CD that came with the board and on a floppy. You can't use the CD because XP doesn't let you get it from there before installation and you can't use the Floppy because this board doesn't support it. Is so stupid to put the driver on a diskette if the board doesn't even have a floppy connector but you can try a USB floppy to install and use F6 on windows installation to load the drivers. I didn't want to buy a $20 USB floppy just to do that (it is not guaranteed that it will recognize the USB floppy), so I had to create a personalized windows disk by copying my original Windows CD and adding the SATA drivers to it (Slipstream).If I had known this before I wouldn't bought this board. With other Mobos you don't have to go trough this process.The reason I'm giving this product 3 stars is that is very stable, it has many features and it's working perfectly after I installed everything. It's not bad if you are setting up a Quad Core or a Core 2 Duo machine and will use Windows Vista.Note that if you will use Vista you won't have any problems because it will let you load the drivers from the CD during the installation.

Like the title says, its a really good mother board if youre building a media center, i put this one together with a evga geforce 8800 GTS and a core 2 quad, with some hyperx ram... its just beautiful to hear and see!!! the only con i found was support for only 2 ide devices, so it means if you have 2 whatever drives... you have to set up all your hd on sata.
