Pros: unlocked my Ph II 555 BE to a Quad, OCs pretty well, DDR3 1800, pretty good board layout, stays cool even when all slots are full. Exellent board for the budget or mini builder

Cons: on board video is useless for anything except web browsing (expected), could have more DIMMS and PCI 2.0 slots (well it is a mATX, after all), cant really push OCs as high as I would like.

Overall Review: When i bought this board, i was most worried about fitting everything on it. Well, it is bigger than it looks. I got a GTS 250 vid card, wireless card, and sound card to fit nicely on it (1 PCI, 1 PCI-e, and 1 PCI 2.0). You can install "tall" RAM on this board if you use a "tower" type heat sink.

Pros: Plays all my fave games smoothly on highest settings (MW2, L4D2)

Cons: can be kinda noisy, but my computer used to be much louder

Overall Review: this card is large so be weary if you are doing a mATX build because you may have to mod your case some to get it to fit

Pros: Most of these chips unlock all 4 cores, OCs really well, inexpensive

Cons: ......

Overall Review: I have seen this chip get OCs as high as 4.6 ghz with a Vcore of 1.45. Not all of them will get there (mine certainly didnt...) but it can be done. I'm Currently at 3.8 ghz with 1.42 Vcore (still working it down) by just tweaking the multiplier
