Pros: Called Asus tech support about unable to install Windows 7 they advised me to run my SATA drive in IDE not AHCI mode. I reset back to default setting and bam Win7 Pro retail installed and it runs great

Cons: None

Overall Review: Make sure if installing Win 7 leave the SAT drive in BIOS in IDE mode and you will have no issue.

Great memory

Pros: Very Good memory have it paired with the Asus E4805-M4A79 Mobo. My Asus mobo supports overclocking to 1600Mhz which it did with no issues

Cons: None

Overall Review: For the people who wrote this memory cannot be OC to 1600 Mhz bough an incompatiable board. My Asus lets me do it with no issues at all.

Nice Board

Pros: Great board, lots a Sata and USB connections. Easy to install have it paired with AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM3 which runs great. Installed Vista 32 bit ( I will explain in my Cons why) Overall very satisfied.

Cons: Unable to install Windows 7 64 bit, during install Win 7 setup asked for drivers for Sata drive, so I pop in the Asus CD and pointed to correct folder, Windows 7 sees the driver but will not install. Will call Asus support.

Overall Review: Nice Mobo for the money, Windows 7 unable to be installed was a bummer, but lets see if Asus addresses this issue.
