Bad, Very bad
- Pros: q-connector? even then i question its coolness...
- Cons: really bad audio crackling, ran vista on it for about a month and locks up for no apparent reason. chip set is terrible. thought i could try and play through the audio and hopefully fix the locking up but its time for me to part with this "thing". save you $$ and get something with a better chip set. asus has really gone down hill since i last owned one, time to switch it up.
- Other Thoughts: Newegg is the best!
- Pros: This is a very nice motherboard and it looks pretty nice too.
- Cons: How the slots are set are moderately questionable.
- Other Thoughts: People have complained about the audio not working properly (crackling/breaking) After I installed a new driver from the ASUS website the audio worked perfectly since then.
Great ATX board
- Pros: ASUS makes the best. and this board proves it. Comes loaded.
4 SATA - 2 IDE - SLI - 4 DIMMS - 8 GB, DDR2. Awesome Board. Even came with a 4pin molex to SATA connector, which came in handy.
- Cons: No real Cons, just that this board is getting to be old technology. Also it only came with 2 SATA cables and one was the bent kind, which can get in the way, but I had like 5 laying around. So All is good.
- Other Thoughts: Everything is well placed on this board, I made a sort of Frankenstien computer useing a mix of old and new parts, and it all work great. and I still have room for expansion.
