Gaming is a go

Pros: This board is the best, as far as performance its better then the 7600GS and image quality is way better then the 7600GT, yet the price beats them both. HIS will not let you down, and if you have a beef about sound then get this card. Out of the box it takes all the latest games and asks for more, and you can always overclock it thanks to its great heatsink.
Cons: Not really a problem for most, but users with smaller PCs may have a problem with the large heatsink.
Good Ram

Pros: Considering its price, this is the best you can get with your money. It has the quality of some more expensive ram and the speed of DDR2.
Cons: There are none for this price.
Overall Review: Save your money on ram, buy this, for most applications (gaming, every-day use) this will perform great and you will see no difference between this and higher priced ram.
Great Motherboard!

Pros: This is a great motherboard, has many features and works right out of the box with the latest Intel processors. I'm currently using it with my new Core 2 Duo processor, highly recommened for gamers and every-day users.
Cons: Overclocking isn't the best with this board, but you can do it mildly. I had a problem using a Sata2 drive installing Windows XP, had to use a CD with the drivers to get XP to install.
