Awsome card!

Pros: SOLID CARD! You can not beat the speed and memory size with DX10 and PCIe2.0 FOR THE COST of this board. It's the single best choice for the money, period.
Cons: It doesn't have the amazing warranty that EVGA cards do, but ASUS is still amazing as its always been.
Overall Review: HL2 Deathmatch, average frame rate is nearly 200.
Solid-ish motherboard

Pros: This board has IT ALL. Everything you need. DDR2 1066 is the way to go, it's cheap, and it's fast. An amazing price for PCIe2.0.
Cons: I have some serious doubts about ABITs choice to release this board. I bought it because of its high rating. The temperature readings in BIOS do not work at all in the first release of their BIOS which came with my MB I bought in late March. It reads 3C all the time. There isn't any software included for windows to monitor temp, but you can get some free ones somewhere I'm sure. There is no option in BIOS to make my memory run at 1066, call I can do is choose 999 or 799. I don't understand this, but apparently there are forums all over regarding it. It may be fixed in later revisions of BIOS, which now is up to version 12 ( i have version 2 I think). BIOS chip replacements for this board are not available on their website yet, the board is too new. I fried mine when I tried to flash it with BIOSv12. Had to hassle their RMA department to get a new chip for free. Don't count on it.
Overall Review: Awesome board that was really just released a little too early. Overclocking is a breeze with this board. Awesome support for future upgrades. poopy BIOS, no BIOS chips on their website, and it scares me that already they've released 12 versions of updates for it. I feel this board deserves a better rating because it's very pretty and fast and a great deal, but the support for the BIOS problems is eeehhhhhhhhhhhh.....
awsome

Pros: Cheap! Simple! Light! Would buy any time!
Cons: NONE!
