Could be better...

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Pretty Stable
Lots of O/C Options
Pretty Startup screen
Cons: Claims to be able to use Socket AM3. This may be true but first you must upgrade to the latest BIOS. Tried this recently followed the directions for my particular system, on DFI's website. The screen said flashing was complete I restarted my system as requested. After restart my system now WILL NOT POST! What's the point of accepting the new socket if you can't even upgrade to the required bios without screwing up your board?
Other Thoughts: I've learned my lesson the hardway. I was planning on upgrading to AM3 with this mobo. Not anymore, I'll just get an actual AM3 socket mobo and then I'll actually be able to use DDR3 memory instead of having a huge bottleneck with this mobo.

Current System Specs:
AMD Athlon X2 6400+
4GIG Corsair XMS RAM
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 SC
Vista X64 ultimate
WD Raptor 10k RPM 150GIG
Thermaltake Armor Case

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great BIOs, 3x PCIe, AM2+ can be used with the new AM3 CPUs, 790FX chipset, reset button right on board.
Cons: Chipset gets very hot, even under normal operating conditions. Front audio connector is right in front of the second PCIe lane and gets in the way of installing any kind of card. If you want SLI/Xfire, dont plan on using the connector.
Other Thoughts: BIOs are very easy to update, and support is right on DFIs website. Support for Phenoms in the newer updates.
Just purchased a Phenom II X4 955 BE AM3 from newegg, hopefully it will be a simple install.

Best motherboard I've had!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The BIOS is an overclocker dream, so many settings it's unbelievable! The power and reboot button on the motherboard was incredibly useful for me. This is by far the best motherboard I have had, and I've tried quite a bunch. Next time I need a motherboard, DFI will be my first choice!
Cons: It's such a shame that the cooling on this motherboard isn't better, the North Bridge runs EXTREMELY hot, I had to order a 40mm fan to cool it down. And you WILL need to cool it down. The SATA ports could've been better placed.
Other Thoughts: I have had this motherboard for over a week now and so far I haven't had a single issue with it. Everything is working as expected. At first, I was nervous reading all the awful reviews but I am so glad I decided to buy the motherboard after all.
