- Pros: It's a motherboard. Has lots of features, for a micro I guess.
- Cons: Mine was DOA as far as I know. Spent hours trying to make sure it wasn't the board. I even ordered 55$ of new memory thinking that was the problem. I just finished RMA'ing it so hopefully I'll get a refund. I'm also pretty sure I wasn't even sent this board. I ordered the open-box M3A78-EM and I got an open-box M3N78-EM which is really just a crappier version of this board and I'm highly disappointed with newegg at that point. But I'm going to suck it up and order the retail version of the M3A78-EM.
- Other Thoughts: I still like the board and newegg. Let's just hope when I get the new one it works. I bumped off a few eggs, not really the boards fault, it's a nice board. But all the problems I had revolving around this board...
Great!
- Pros: It's Cheap, all the drivers it came with worked (XP Pro), 4 memory slots.
- Cons: It has no on-board video (me being a gamer, it doesn't matter).
- Other Thoughts: This board is huge! Full-ATX, just thought I'd say that, make sure your computer case is full-atx
Decent
- Pros: Great motherboard, worked right out of the box perfectly. I was a bit worried due to a bad issue with my last ASUS board, but it is running fine.
- Cons: See below
- Other Thoughts: I don't list this as a con, but it did not make me happy - When I got the motherboard it was factory sealed, but it did not come with any screws or studs. Just something to keep in mind if you do not have plenty of extras laying around like I did.
