This review is from: Intel BOXDH77DF LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Has a lot of advanced state of the art features. SATA 6Gbps, USB3, various display interfaces
Cons:
It runs Win7 only. Don't try any other OS; drivers exist for Win7 only.
Overall Review:
Like the small size. Am looking for a replacement of our company's mid-tower computers; something that could fit behind the monitors and not on the floor. However we will be running WinXP for at least several more years. That's just reality. Have been unable to install WinXP. Thought I would try a couple of other OS's for fun. Win Server 2012=NO, CentOS=NO. Drivers just don't exist. I just wish Intel would have notes on their website in VERY LARGE PRINT saying that you shouldn't even try other OS's. They imply that XP might work. They mention USB3 not supported in XP, but even disabling it in the BIOS, the XP install disk is BSOD.
