Pros: This board outshines my old A--s board by a mile. I run games without a stutter now (even with an old video card).

Cons: Old bios was crummy and the new one is not much better. As in "user friendly". I run a dual boot system and it took me a long time jumping through hoops to get it to the point where I can boot either one with no difficulty.

Overall Review: I cannot wait to try this board with AMD's top 990 chip and tweaking!
