Good board!

I love the fact that Intel boards are finally getting the Nvidia chipsets built in. Beats the S*S and V*A graphics. The optin for different raid arrays, HDMI, 6 channel audio all in a micro atx make this a good board.

These are not cons but rather FYI: This board uses single channel ram. When setting ram choices in bios you have the choice of 1:1, 5:4 or 3:2. No option for pci lock. Ram voltage starts at 1.95 with no option to undervolt just overvolt. Using 667 that is 1.8 will/can ruin your ram.

I have this board with a 775-Xeon X3210 (supports it, not listed on website), and corsair Xms675. I have the ram running at 1.95 (+.05 overvolted) and running at 690 4-4-4-12. The motherboard really liset this combo. I had Xms800 on here,5-5-5-15, But it didn't seem as responsive.
All in all a good board, its running Folding at home 24/7 and it fit nicely in a Emachine case.
X3210, 1gb Xms675, 80gb 3.0 hd, emachine dvd burner, 380 watt-80 plus certified PS.

Lacking...

Most things work fine. Low cost.

No dual-boot capability. Second video port (DVI) doesn't work.

A lot of people have complained about the bios, and perhaps this is where some of the problems are. But I can NOT get my second monitor to be recognized. The manual mentions nothing about it and I don't see anything at all in the bios setup. The support website doesn't appear to even know that this particular motherboard exists. So now I've had to purchase an add-on video card.
