Pros: I've used around 15-18 boards on the 754 platform,(computer tech)and this beats all of them hands-down. Don't worry about getting a CPU with a locked mult. because this board will take you to an HTT over 400! My Sempron64 2800+ runs 24/7 at 2.80GHz on this board w/o any problems. Here are some of the things that this board has... MemTest-built into bios.Nice for checking memory for errors. WatchDog-To boot at default if OC is too high BiosSavior-Save up to 50 of your favorite bios's. 15 different memory settings in bios,for the tweakers. 3.3VDimm,1.8Vcore Reset,and Power Button onboard. Diagonostic LED's onboard for diagonosing problems. Nice software supplied by BioStar.(Its the little things:) For those who care,the onboard video (6100) will warrant you scores of ~7,500 in 3DMark01,depending on your cpu speed,ram,etc.
Cons: With 1.8V.core set in bios,it actually only feeds the CPU 1.76V. No software to adjust the Chipset voltage,though not a big deal when not benchmarking.
Overall Review: What else can I say,for the money your paying here,this is by far the best board you can buy on this platform. I've used the best boards from DFi,Asus,etc. and none rival the performance of this TForce 6100. Good Job BioStar!! Keep this up and you have a fan for life. ;)
