Pros: Easy to install. I just rebuilt an old Dell XPS 730 with a Core 2/Quad Core processor. I purchased some 2 x 4 PNY DDR3 PC3-10666 sticks and the system booted up immediately. I'm just an average tech guy but so far I've had minimal problems with the install.

Cons: As this board is smaller than the original the CPU cooler can't be mounted to blow out the back so I've had to mount it sideways.
