Tech Level: low - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: Cheap cost.

Cons: F00Ls who think they know what they are doing end up buying this.

Other Thoughts: Let's see...I'll use 3 sticks of memory on a DUAL CHANNEL motherboard....what could be the problem???? (do they even have to match?) I'll complain about mounting an AFTERMARKET cooler and blame the mobo. Icing on the cake, I'll make an ethnic reference, because I feel my GED entitles me to belittle those who know MUCH MORE THAN ME!!!

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Ok this is a pretty good motherboard. The layout is nice it has 4 slots for ram. It uses single PCI express and it is cheap. It has decent features and chipset cooling and is a pretty blue. I got this on black friday deal.

Cons: Ok where do I start. If you have a thermalright heasink you have to order the K8 MOUNTING BRACKET!!!. I repeat this uses pushpin style mounting brackets unless you have an old one lying around from another mobo. It has slow fsb it seems and there might be a few things holding this one back. I feel I should have went with evga or biostar or epox for a little more. These days its hard to justify spending on the 939 socket. IT WILL NOT LET ME USE 3 Sticks of ram!!!

Other Thoughts: Well this board seems stable enough. The bois seems to be in "Engrish". Just take note about the backplate bracket. Enthusiasts stay clear there are many other boards on the crowded mobo market. this one looks good but then just "bytes"
