Pros: Sturdy, clearly labelled motherboard helped put me at ease as a first-time system builder. Board came with current F12 Bios installed. Set up system as a dual-boot Windows 7 / Mac OS machine without issue. Had to fiddle about in BIOS quite a bit, setting drives to IDE etc. to get XP installed (necessary for Win 7 upgrade disc) No evidence of the dreaded "boot loop" that I've heard so much about.

Cons: None so far - not a single issue.

Overall Review: Clearly, with so many negative reports here, something is going on with the boot loops. I would say that I've had to fiddle around in BIOS and with bootloaders, etc. more than most but this particular board has been a gem so far.
