Easy install, no troubles at all

No troubles at all with this m/b. Running debian 5.03 linux with nvidia 7600 gt and 2 nvidia fx 5500 cards driving 6 lcd screens, 4 gb gskill mem and 2.66 ghz core 2 quad. It flys. Can't beat it for the price.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Memory incompatibility

Lot of features for a low price.

Doesn't support some 1066MHz memory. Make sure you check the compatibility list and only use supported memory.

Processor: Intel core 2 quad Q8200
Ram: G-Skill F2-8500CL5D (DDR2 1066)

With a fresh Windows build, the computer would randomly crash and reboot. Replaced the memory (thank you NewEgg!) and still had the problems. Found that reducing the memory speed down to 800 reduced the frequency of the error. Running the memory even lower pretty much resolved the crashes.

Returned the motherboard and bought a different one (GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R) and have never had a crash in 6 months.
