This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The Micro-ATX form factor allows for the assembly of a smaller and more space flexible system while allowing for a fair amount of expansion capabilities. This board works great with the Athlon II x2 240, and is a great option for someone looking to make a budget business and multimedia PC., or Linux/UNIX box.
Cons: Still a DDR2 board. Yet, this is not really a con.
Other Thoughts: Board runs stable in XP 32 bit, Vista Business, Home Premium, and several versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD.
