Pros: Upgraded 4 systems in one day using this board. Price. Extremely easy install. Effortless overclock of C2D E4400 to 2.66GHz @ stock voltage on all 4 systems. No compatibility issues with any of the hardware used on this board. Allowed re-use of AGP cards that were still quite adequate, with a future path to PCI-E available without having to upgrade mobo at the same time. On-board sound is quite good. Mature mobo drivers. C2Q compatible. AGP 8x/PCI-E. DDR or DDR2. Systems have been very stable. I'm really pleased with this mobo, while not an enthusiast level product, it meets it's intended purpose and then some. As always, well packed and quick service from Newegg.

Cons: Documentation was adequate, but a little on the sparse side for "the average Joe". Only one case fan header. Location of the floppy header is quite a stretch for the average mid-tower ATX case. Only 2 DIMM sockets (for either DDR or DDR2) limits you to a max of 2GB of either type of RAM. SATA is only 1.5Gbps (not that big of a deal though). PCI-E slot is a physical x16, but only an electrical x4 (DX10 mid-upper to high level graphics card will result in approximately 5-15% decrease in performance). Really insignificant cons for the price and what this product is intended for.

Overall Review: Recently purchased 4 of these to upgrade wife's and kids' PCs. Decided to go with 2GB Corsair DDR2-675 and E4400 on all of them. All using previous AGP cards (1 VisionTek X1950 Pro, 1 ATI X1600 Pro and 2 Sapphire X800 XLs). Upgraded 2 Athlon XP 2600+/nForce 2 (Chaintech 7NJL1) based rigs that only required a boot of XP into safe mode to uninstall the nVidia drivers and detect new hardware. Other 2 systems were an Intel 848P/Celeron 3.0GHz (QDI P2PE/800 Pro) and Intel 845/P4 2.53GHz (Asus P4PE), both required a repair install of XP, as they would not boot past AGP440.sys in any mode. Everyone is happy with their "new" systems, as am I (<$250 per system for mobo/CPU/RAM for a very competent PC that games rather well for the kids with the X1950 and X800s, and makes short work of everything my wife throws at hers).

Pros: Bought 4 for "cheap" upgrades for wife and kids PCs. All 4 running stable @ 2.66GHz on stock voltage w/stock cooler on ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTAs. Core temps average 34 C @ idle and 52 C @ full load, with case temps (temps @ center of integrated heat spreader) 30 C @ idle and 47 C @ full load.

Cons: They're not buy one get one free!

Overall Review: Great CPU.
