Pros: I included this in my new rig since I used abit in my previous rig several years back and that computer has been rock solid. the construction is very solid and the architecture very pretty. good choice of mobos if you like to run open casket or have a seethru case. :) everything was very simple to hook up, plug and play and off you go. didn't have any confusion. integrated ethernet is convenient. integrated audio actually sounds pretty darn good to my ears, all things considered. everything was very easy to get going.
Cons: the nvidia network manager filewall deal that comes with this mobo is questionable. I was curious at the start, so I did, in fact, install the firewall software. I could have avoided a lot of frustration if I just passed. Most anything I downloaded, especially in the form of self extracting archives for larger files, just didn't work. the file would report being corrupt when I ran it, or it just would crash, or any number of other reasons for not working. I speculated bad memory and a number of other things. Even though I turned the firewall completely off earlier in my troubleshooting process, I eventually decided to try completely uninstalling it. what do you know -- that fixed EVERYTHING. that little rascal of a firewall was wreaking havoc even though it wasn't turned on. save yourself some trouble, you don't want to install this firewall, just leave it alone!
Overall Review: don't install the included nvidia firewall! get a real one!
