Comments: Bought this mobo to build a cheap office PC for my mom. Paired it with a T-Bred 2600+ and had a helluva time getting up and running. The 300W Enlight power supply that came with the case didn't even have enough juice to get the thing to boot - put in a 350W Enermax, problem #1 solved. Then Windows XP Pro wouldn't install, kept getting BSOD's with memory errors - swapped out the Crucial PC2700 for Kingston HyperX PC2700, problem #2 solved. After spending xxx more than initially planned, this thing ran like a champ... fast and stable. Be sure of two things before buying this board: 1) Power supply pushes at least 15A on the 12V rail. 2) Use top-quality RAM (GEIL, Kingston, Mushkin, OCZ, etc). New Egg rocks as always... ultra-fast processing and delivery.
Lived fast, died young

Pros: Stable voltages, plenty of connectors, safety features worked (didn't lose anything other than the PSU).
Cons: Died in its sleep after two days... shutdown was normal but wouldn't start up again. Quality control is obviously an issue with this particular model.
Overall Review: Got one of these to power an AMD dual-core, 7900 GT SLI system. Have bought exclusively Enermax power supplies since 1999 with no failures... probably not going to buy from them again. Newegg RMA was fast and painless as always!
