Great Board
- Pros: I bought this mobo for a future proc upgrade from a p4 to a c2d or c2q, which is nice b/c it supports several different types of proc. Nice board with some okay OC options. Foxconn's bios allows for OC'ing as well as a software based util that can be controlled from the OS. 4 dimms for ram is nice for a micro. It comes with an extremely well laid out map of the board so you know where everything is and what its for (great for beginners).
- Cons: None so far. I was worried my huge heatsink wouldn't have clearance, but there's plenty of room.
- Other Thoughts: Win Vista 64 bit, 4GB PC6400, 2.8GHz Prescott P4 @ 3.4GHz, Nvidia 8400gs... nothing special, but it runs great so I can't complain
Foxconn sabotages Linux ACPI
- Pros: /
- Cons: I was looking through the DSDT tables that this board's BIOS passes to the operating system, it sniffs and has different tables for XP/Vista, 2000, and Linux.
It directs Windows to the correct ACPI DSDT table, and redirects Linux to what can only be described as a sabotaged set of broken tables.
- Other Thoughts: I believe that Microsoft probably paid Foxconn to do this for them

Motherboard does not meet specifications
- Pros: Many of the latest bells and whistles
- Cons: Foxconn advertises that this board is compliant with ACPI 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. But it isn't. Instead of following the ACPI like they said, they wrote their own code that sniffs for the operating system in question. It specifically polls to see if the OS is Linux, and if it is, the motherboard fails in multiple ways.
Does not allow Linux to work
- Pros: It wasnt DOA
- Cons: The BIOS in this board will not allow Linux to work properly. Ubuntu crashes constantly for me. The BIOS also effects Windows, but not as much as it does Linux.
- Other Thoughts: When I asked Foxconn about this problem, I was told to not send them emails and that I was to buy Vista. This is unacceptable even if you do you Windows. I recommend a different board from a company with good customer service.
- Pros: It worked well with Vista, you get a lot for the price.
- Cons: However, I run Ubuntu. This board frizzles out on me and causes it to hang, apparently due to driver issues. I thought it was just my aging setup, but thankfully a fix has been found.
Price is kinda high for a motherboard with integrated graphics.
- Other Thoughts: My girlfriend bought me this board without knowledge, just something a friend of mine recommended to her when she was looking for. Didn't buy it from Newegg, but from a local Fry's. Will be returning it due to issues.
