Pros: Very nice motherboard loaded with features and ease of use. Absolutely no complaints and will recommend to anyone looking for a LGA775 board. My Q9450, 8800GTS and 4 gig of ram run flawlessly in this motherboard. Running Vista Ultimate 64bit, no software compatability issues wit hthe motherboard.

Cons: No cons, great board.

Comments: First off, Newegg is awesome, doesn't get any better than these guys when it comes to customer support, pricing and shipping. This drive has been a major thorn in my side, and is not getting any better via RMA's. I am on drive #3, with no success in consistant operation of this unit. I have been through 3 motherboards with this drive as I have been upgrading, and have had the same results with all three boards (all different manufacturers, 2 of them on the "OK" list from Plextor). I should have gone with someone else, and stayed in the ide connection world...
