Solid board with a slight quirk

Socket 479, Included heatsink, PCIe 16x and 1x, DDR and DDR2 support, Dolthan processor support

No Banias processor support.

This board DOES NOT support the Banias processor as stated above. This was a minor inconvience, but nonetheless, was frustrating. It was the only thing keeping me from rating it a 5.
