Pros: Be sure to upgrade the BIOS to the new F3. After I did this, perfermance substantially improved. BIOS upgrades are a snap with the BIOS software that is included. You do it right from Windows. Very easy to do.
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: So far a super mobo.
Does not read or write CDG

Pros: Basic burner
Cons: I wrote earlier that it will R/W CDG. After further tests it does NOT.
Overall Review: Not the quality that Plextor used to make.
Superior Performance

Pros: Running cool, 19*c with aftermarket heatsink & fan that I used from my 6 core 1100. My computer has never run so smooth and quick. Excellent CPU
Cons: None yet
Overall Review: I just upgraded from the 6 core 1100 and so far very thrilled with performance. Read many reviews of heating problems. Mine is running super cool. 19*c so far. Highly recommend for use on AM3+ system. My motherboard is 6 yrs old and loves it. I am using stock settings and running at 4000. I don't see a need to overclock. Never been a fan of overclocking. I need solid and confident performance.
Great Quality

Pros: Good quality, heavy duty, and the 8" length was perfect.
Cons: None
Excellent Tool

Pros: This powered adapter is fantastic. Adapts any SATA or IDE drive to USB 2.0. Just what a tech needs. This beleongs in every tech's toolbox.
Cons: Wish it was 3.0 USB
Not for IDE

Pros: Bought this based on user reviews. Doesn't fit an IDE pherical. Will probably work for a floppy disc drive. I'll still keep this but glad it was only $12. I'll use it to connect a floppy drive
Cons: I got this to connect an IDE DVD drive. It's only for a floppy disc drive.
Overall Review: Users should only post a product review after they have actually used the product. "Will be delivered tomoorw" doesn't cut it.
