Pros: easily O/Cd , running as a 4 core @ 3.1ghz... havent figured out cache o/c yet GIGABYTE GA-MA74GM-S2 board allows using as 4 core instead of 3 core

Cons: noisy stock fan

Overall Review: wish id bought this before

Pros: using as WHS machine... 8 external usb ports make adding external drives very easy instead of cracking open the box... bios allows o/c of amd tri-core easily...

Cons: only 4 internal sata plugs which are hard to plug cables into. board power plug very inconveniently placed as to making right under hdd drives . newegg claims DDR3 ram, so i ordered that... get the box & it says DDR2 ram. so now im sitting on un-needed ram that doesnt fit, & RMA costs more than the ram. thank you newegg ! maybe in couple years ill have a use for it anyone else ordering, its 240 pin DDR2 ram

Overall Review: otherwise fairly laid out, almost easiest install ive had, other than power plug. bios features very nice for overclockers. newegg, mention that people need to leave very specific delivery instructions for purolator please.... or have the permission slip online to leave packages...

Pros: its memory

Cons: dont know, its sitting collecting dust in hopes someday i can find a use... low profile sticks though

Overall Review: bought motherboard newegg said needed ddr3 ram.... got board & ram, but box said DDR2 ram. thanks newegg, not worth the shipping cost to RMA the item... had spare stick i took from dead mobo, and bought another from local store as shipping took over 2 weeks
