Pros: It's ok for the average end user that is not into high-end graphics type of game.

Cons: The first board D.O.A., absolutely no bios. Newegg was awesome on the shipping for the both boards. I got the second and I put 2 gigs of ram into it and it locks up the computer when playing any graphics intensive game. No matter the brand or grade it still has the same end results. If I remove one gig of ram from the computer it runs fine. I am completely baffled by this so I can not recommend this board.

Other Thoughts: Systems specs:
3.4 gig p-4
7800gt
sound blaster audigy 2 zs
1 gig (2x512) ddr2 667 corsair value (would be two if it would do it)

Pros: A stable mobo for the masses. Relatively easy to setup. Good on board sound and LAN. Great value for the money.

Cons: Not very good for over clocking. Mobo design prevents FSB from being stable over 225. Most common tuning options are hidden in the BIOS.

Other Thoughts: If you want access to the memory timings press CTRL-F1 after booting to BIOS. Then the timings can be manually set.
