p55 board, 4 DIMM slots, supports Crossfire / SLI, tons of ports, and most importantly CHEAP for how good it is
Also, unlike a couple others who wrote reviews, it recognized my 1600 G.Skill RAM as the advertised settings without having me make any adjustments.
As others have stated, the SATA ports are located right behind where your HDD bay is going to be, causing a slight problem in some cases. However, no egg deduction, as even a little bit of research (i.e. looking at the pictures) can show you this
Also had a problem booting Windows 7 from my DVD drive. Was freezing at the post screen. Easily fixed by flashing the bios
Used this in my first ever build, everything came together easily. My setup:
Antec 900 II
ASRock p55 Extreme
Intel Core i5
XFX HD5770
G.Skill 2x2gb 1600 DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 500gb
OCZ StealthStream 500W
None
Worked ok for about three weeks. Then one day it just straight up quit. couple days later I tried starting up the computer. Saw an arc by the sound ports, smelled burning electronics and the thing started working(??)... Now I get all around poor performance. Can't even game it's so bad. Asrock customer support seems to be giving me the run around. Bad experience, wouldn't recommend this board to an enemy.
Bad.
