Pros: This was purchased for use in an unRAID server I built for a client. The demands of unRAID are very low since it's basically a media storage tower. It's paired with the following: AMD Sempron 145 Sargas 2.8GHz Crucial 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 Power Supply I was interested in this board because it was low cost, includes 6 on-board SATA connections and 2 x PCIx slots. I'll be able to use the PCIx slots down the road for SATA controller cards when I use up the 6 on-board ports. I used the onboard video for about 10 minutes during the initial unRAID setup, which is text based only, so I can't comment on the video chipset. Looks to be of excellent build quality as I would expect from Asus.

Cons: It only has 2 DIMMs for memory, so plan accordingly.

Pros: Great budget board. Bought this somewhere else cause it was cheaper at the time. Let's see here, it was $60, which is scraping the bottom of the barrel for a decent board with the right features. I chose this board because it was one of the only options I could find that was AM3+ compatible, supported 125W, 2600Mhz HyperTransport and 1000Mbps LAN Speed. I don't think most people realize when shopping for a budget board at this price range just how many boards only run 1000Mhz HyperTransport and 100Mbps onboard LAN. These are two speeds that are very important and you don't want to miss out on! I am running an AM3 processor with it but I wanted AM3+ for a little future compatability. So that being said, ASUS offers all of these options at only a $60 price point, which is impressive. Even more impressive is that this is the most feature-packed board in it's bracket. Many more than similar Biostar/Gigabyte competition boards. This choice was a no-brainer for me.

Cons: For what I was looking for, I find no real cons. Does it have SATA III? No. Does it have USB 3.0? No. Did I dish out the extra cash for those features? No. It's a $60 board people. How can you buy a board and then write bad reviews and whine and complain about it lacking features that you wanted when the specs and features are clearly listed in nice big English letters in a nice easy-to-understand format? If you wanted USB 3.0 and SATA III and more RAM then why in the world did you buy a board that has USB 2.0 and SATA II with 2 RAM slots? Did you think that there was some mystery chance that it would magically appear with different features? Know what you're buying, do your research before a purchase. Don't sit here and cry cause it was part of a combo deal and you didn't know. Your fault. You probably have other financial issues due to the same behavioral pattern. Not on ASUS. P.S. no more than 8gb of ram is needed to run any game at max settings at this time.

Overall Review: This thing is tiny. Smallest Micro I've ever worked with. Leaves extra space in my InWin BK644, and that's small! I'm running this with an Athlon II X3 450, 8gb DDR3-1333, an HD 5670 and a 300W power supply. Super easy build, everything nice and smooth, no problems at all. All RAM recognized, video card running great, onboard sound works great, no hassels from very first start-up. I did not attempt to unlock my processor as I'm worried about heat issues since it's in a tiny case and I jacked up my thermal paste a bit, so I can't speak to that. This set-up is blazing through MW3 very smoothly on automatic settings which set image to High, texture automatic, and all features on with my 22" 1680x1050 monitor. Total cost was $330 with my old hard drive and Win7 already installed. Recommend to gamers on a budget. If you're not budgeting, don't look at $60 boards.

Pros: How can you do something stupid like this and expect to be given a new board under warranty? Then dock stars for it?

Cons: None

Overall Review: Wow. maybe I can smash my car and Ford will just give me a new one......

Pros: Price...

Cons: This board failed to power up after just four days of regular use, the rest of the components are fine. My first Asus and I couldn't be more disappointed.

Pros: Got a few of these. Unlocked a 3.2 triple cored Rana to all four cores. Unlocked others too. Runs solid and stable. For the price, what more could you ask for? A solid, value-priced performer. It's an Asus for the price of a generic. This is a no brainer. Pair it up with reputable RAM and PSU, and you're reliably good to go.

Cons: POST time could be a little shorter. No startup beep. Minor.

Overall Review: May or may not work for you, but getting 4 cores for the cost of 3 is a pretty nice bonus. Even if you don't unlock extra cores like I did, it's still a great board for the price. Incredibly powerful piece of kit for the money. Nice job, Asus.

Pros: - Supports up to 125W CPU according to ASUS, but I only tried a 95W CPU so I cannot say for 125W - Supports up to 1866 Mhz but you have to raise the voltage. I had a hard time deciding the voltage for my RAM, but that is because I am inexperienced with tweaking RAM settings - Supports up to 8GB RAM which is more than enough for budget computers - Manual is easy to follow - Easy to set up BIOS settings

Cons: - Only has one chassis fan connector so the rest of my fans are hooked to the PSU. This is the main con I have - SATA 3Gb/s which is not a big deal unless you have an SSD - I/O Shield was a hassle to put on (my first time building a computer) - USB 2.0 which was not a problem for me, but might be for others - PCI-E 2.0 which is not a con considering most (all?) 3.0 cards can run with this without a difference in performance. I just wanted to point this out

Overall Review: I did not buy the mobo here, but I do have it and these are my personal opinions of it. I used this mobo on my very first build and I did not have that many problems. This is a budget mobo so I do not recommend it if your build costs over $600 (my own opinion - take this with a grain of salt).

Pros: Great board if you have reasonable expectations and know what you're buying. I'm using on a VMware ESXi host in a home lab. It DOES support 16GB of RAM if you: Update the BIOS to 1303 or later, use memory listed in the "Supported Memory Tab" on the ASUS website. I'm using Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 and it purrs like a kitten.

Cons: None that I can see as long as your expectations are reasonable. It is what it is, don't buy a Dodge Dart and complain that it doesn't have seat warmers or a V8 engine. Research and plan before buying!

Pros: This board does what it says nothing more. If your looking for more expect to spend more then sixty bucks... Everything worked out of the box. Didn't have to flash my bios to get my core running. Runs with maxed out ram of 8GB Will work well for a budget gaming system or a business system.

Cons: None really. Lots of people are saying its DOA or having other issues just make sure your buying the right board for your core etc.

Overall Review: For the price dont expect an $200 board, just take it for what its worth and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
