Pros: very adaptive board. great for people who are switching from P-ata to sata. 3 IDE/P-ATA slots are great but that fact that it has 4 sata ports too makes it even better. BIOs have some very cool features that drasticaly improve boot time.

Cons: cd/dvd drives that are older are very difficult to make work. must adjust over and over with the pin settings and with the bios. IDE ports are a LONG ways away from the cd-rom bays! using a ribbon cable with slots for 2 drives it only makes it to one.

Overall Review: a second PCI-E 16x would have been nice it has 2 1x's but i really dont use those much. THIS BOARD HAS NO ON BOARD VIDEO.
