Pros: *Nice feature set for a midrange/budget board. *P55 where the PCI-E runs in 8x/8x bandwidth mode *Seems stable

Cons: *When installing Windows 7 x64 on 2 RAID 0 drives, it incorrectly identifies the 'proper' raid driver to use... I couldn't figure out why windows would get to the last leg of finalizing the installation, only to fail. The solution (inelegant though it was), was the load the whole list of 'incompatible with your system' drivers that were all near identically named from those available. Not sure why that is, but after a couple frustrating hours, it seems to be working perfectly. *The paper and disk based documentation did not seem to fit the bios actually installed on the board, not a biggie to me but it could be a pain to some.

Overall Review: I wish it had USB 3.0, but ya cant have everything at this price. Bios shipped were the most recent version.
