Cons: USB on board will not work with my Kingston 16GB flash drive. Tech support says update the drivers... No way! I'd have never thought to do that! That don't work... AND I guess the HDCP is messed up, no audio over HDMI at all, so that's useless
Other Thoughts: Delete my other review, whoever... Forgot to add the other comments

Pros: Very consistent, well made and reliable board. I'm running an AMD Phenom II 945 X4 3.0Ghz w/ 4 GB Corsair XMS Dual Channel 800mhz Ram, ATI Radeon HD 4550 and it runs like a dream. I previously had an Athlon II X2 240 and it ran well, just upgrading components and I never have an issue with this mobo. Next step, new video card!
Cons: If you are cheap enough to actually plan on using onboard graphics they're nothing close to gaming quality. Also, it's an mATX, which really sucks for CPU cooling, it's hard to find great cooling bc the ram slots are so close to the CPU socket. But this is common among mATX.
No, real complaints.
