Pros: Price, performance, and extra stuff

Cons: The software that comes with this mobo.

Overall Review: Just for all ppl that get BSOD on DRIVER_IRQL_NOT _LESS_OR_EQUAL on http.sys. Here are setps to fix it: If you cannot get into the normal windows xp, go to safe mode 1. Remove nivida access manager and nivida firewall 2. install latest chipset drivers. (Important: DO NOT INSTALL ACCESS MANAGER AND NIVIDA FIREWALL) 3. update with latest BIOS It took me one week to figure out what went wrong with this BSOD, and my computer is working perfect now. I hope this can help someone have the same problem as mine.

Pros: Did not find any special about his burner.

Cons: It has error reading some other DVD movie region code. And my Nero 7 only showed maximum speed of x8 for burning. I went to the NEC website to updated the latest firmware but the problem still exist. These issues did not happen to my other burner Panasonic Double Layer 16x8x4.

Overall Review: Do some research about this burner before you buy.
