Did not work, going to try another
Pros: Many features, 4 memory slots.
Cons: Board would not boot. 3 beep error with known good memory from previous LGA775 based board. Could not get any further than pressing the power button (which did not immediately power the system up - took a few presses, and even then, there was a delay) and hearing the beeps. Memory felt loose in the memory slots. The manual is on a DVD included with the board, although you do get a very vague reference poster. I'm glad I had another computer I could view the manual on - not that it was much help...
Overall Review: I chose this board because I wanted to use my existing components and not have to upgrade everything. The 4 memory slots were the key selling point for me, but since the board refuses to recognize ANY of the memory sticks, it's a moot point. To add insult to injury, *I* have to pay for return shipping to Newegg. This is the first time I have had to cover the cost of a defective product return. Regardless of the fact that Newegg does not manufacture this product, they are selling it and should pay for defective returns. I'm on a pretty tight budget, and $17 for the original shipment TO me, plus whatever it's going to cost ME to ship it BACK is unacceptable. Their RMA FAQ also states it could take 3-4 days for processing once they receive the item, meaning it'll probably be about 2 weeks before I get my replacement. This is NOT money well spent, and I am NOT a happy customer.
