Pros: 1) poop your pants, a lot of features 2) this is board is high performance, and actually works

Cons: 1) getting the board to work is a bit of hassle BEWARE Corsair XMS2 6004C4 DDR2800 users: set up your computer using only 1 stick at first(the board is incapable of detecting dual-channel w/o bios flash) also you need to manually set the ram timing in the bios. The bios will catch it as 8-8-8-15-2T but in reality it is 4-4-4-12-2T if you decide to flash the bios to 0307, use award phoenix utility (NOT EZ-flash) BE SURE to install every driver on the mobo CD once you have your OS up.(the mobo CD also offers makedisk option for both nForce and JMDB raid drivers) in contrary to what some people said, the onboard sound is excellent. get some speakers from logitech. the most COMMON problem with this board is no POST problem. make sure you get a pwr supply above let's say 550W with extra juice in 12V rail(Corsair 620W is a good buy - i heard 520W also works) this board require a lot of juice(power) oh and for , use 32bit Windows XP (x64 ain't that great)
