TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

Nice board, excellent features, pleanty of connections. A solid gamers mobo.

Very flaky bios. I had to RMA this board because of all the problems with known usb detection and bios post hangs. Did a lot of research and noticed a lot of problems that are currently being addressed by ASUS.

Once there is a bios fix post 1003 (not yet national) this will be an excellent board but I was forced to go with the Gigabyte GA EX38 DQ6 which is a solid board out of the box. I still like ASUS but the GIGA rocks it for the time beeing.
