No booting Linux from USB???

Pros: The negatives for my purposes outweigh any "Pros".

Cons: This motherboard does not support booting linux from USB. I really need to do this!! I feel ripped off.

Overall Review: I want to boot Linux on this off USB like I can with MSI and many other motherboards! This is very inconvenient, and therefore I am very _unhappy_ with this purchase.

worked, no probs, low power requirements

Pros: low price, bought 2 and both worked fine, low power usage, low heat from this CPU, great for non-CPU intensive computers, single core, and still compatible with modern socket AM3

Cons: none, just know it's not a high performance CPU when buying
