Pros: High end capacitors, excellent features and passive cooling. This board is fast as lightning! Supports DDR2 which is a plus. Excellent bios feature set and packaging.

Cons: See other thoughts.

Overall Review: I purchased an Intel E8400 CPU for this board, and it will not go to sleep in Vista 32 bit. I have contacted all vendors involved and they point the finger at microsoft. After every hotfix, work around, still no go. And sp1 is still a ways away. According to Asus they are still working on a new bios for the wolfdale core, no word on when it is to be relessed.

Pros: Amazing CPU, handles Vista 32-bit, various lini, very well. The best that can be said about this CPU, is that in benchmarks the only CPU that tops it, and not by much is the $1K Extreme edition. Enough said.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I had to purchase this CPU from a local retailer, took me a week to track this baby down. I wish I could have bought it from newegg.
