Pros: ASUS has always been a good Mobo to work with, it fit well into my ATX case, plug it all up with new AMD 955 processor and some new G Skill mem...loaded Windows7 and worked like a champ! Did some overclocking and very stable.
Cons: Be careful when ordering...I ordered the Deluxe and apparently they had a Deluxe T that just did AM3 and DDR3. But I did save money buy ordering the Combo set which included the processor so I can't complain. To get the 1066 on the mem to work u have to manually change it in Bios.
Other Thoughts: Replaced my Dual Core with Quad Core, but I can still use my Dual on this Mobo is I ever burn out the Quad!
Have Generic ATX case 600watt Power Supply M4A79 Deluxe Mother Board 955 AMD Quad Core 2x2 4Gb G. Skill Mem 1 Terabyte Western Digital Drive ATI Radeon 4780 Vid card with 1Gb on board mem Plays COD modern warefare very well.

Other Thoughts: good from 2/19/2009 bad 10/20/2009
