Pros: Alot of Sata and USB ports. DDR2 and DDR3 capable. I did not have any problems at all whatsoever with this motherboard. It came with F2 BIOS installed. I did not update the bios. I put it all the together and it powered up and posted. What more could you want? It recognized all my Drives, RAM and CPU. Nice to have a Coaxial and Optical outputs for sound. This may have the most problem free computer I ever assembled. Took about 15 minutes to install Vista. Very Stable so Far. Installed games: NWN2, Oblivion Elder scrolls IV, Dawn of War. They All run great without any issues.

Cons: None
