This review is from: ASUS AM1I-A AM1 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
easy to setup
runs windows 7 well
decent BIOS features
serial and parallel ports for those that need
Cons:
can't boot FreeNAS after install
can't boot Ubunutu Server after install
compatibility issues with Amahi during installation, constant invalid code error
Overall Review:
bought this mobo for my FreeNas build along with an AMD Kabini 2.05 GHz quad-core. Unfortunately, I could not get it to boot after install. The screen would flash multiple times after post and then go straight to BIOS. Tried reinstalling many times while tweaking the mobo settings (UEFI/Legacy) but no success. I am not sure if this board was just faulty or completely incompatible with Linux, so beware.
