Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This is a yearly update. I have built 2 HTPC's with this board and both have been totally troublefree. Have been totally happy with how upgrades and different components work with these. Have used several CPU's and memory and all have worked well. One of the systems has been used for trying out the Windows 7 betas and RC versions.

Cons: The one problem was with some high voltage ram that the motherboard would not put enough voltage in. That memory did run fine at lowered speed.

Other Thoughts: Quality motherboard at a great price.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: I have this in my custom build that I built back in April '09 and have not had any major issues at all. Everything works and the computer started up the very first time with absolutely no issues.

Cons: Startup is not lightning fast, but I never expected it to be. Its not even worth knocking off an egg off the rating, honestly. It does exactly what I need it to do and I have no complaints to really speak of.

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: Great overclocking features, inexpensive.
I've had no problems with this motherboard since I got it. The C.P.R (CPU Parameter Recall) has allowed for less worry when overclocking.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: If you are not running the latest BIOS, then update it. I gained around 300 points on the 3DMark Vantage. The Asus Update Tool made it easy, no floppy needed.
