good mobo

EVERYTHING!! but mostly simple and ez to use

Couldn't change bios setting after using energy savor and easy tune6 program during windows operation so i got a bit confuse at first. but problem is easy to fix. Just reload optimal default setting in bios then restart pc and problem solve. other than that nothing.

would be nice if it came with another 2.0 pcie 16x rather than a 8x

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Mostly works.

Runs everything at full speed. Seems to work the same under Windows and Linux.

The audio tends to stutter. I've heard various reasons for it and tried the various fixes, but have not been able to get audio working properly. It's a shame since I didn't want to use a PCI slot on a soundcard.

The LAN ports also have problems. One of them must be disabled for the other one to work, which other people have reported.

Using it with a Q6600 at stock speeds, 2GB x 2 Corsair memory sticks, and an older GeForce until I upgrade that.
