Biostar - Tops in Value for $$
Pros: Great price for the feature set. Supports up to 125 W processors. Reliable mail-in rebate process. Supports FX processors out of the box. Consistently good Biostar quality -- never a problem for me.
Cons: Only supports up to 8GB RAM (I knew this when purchased).
BIOS Needs Some Work
Pros: New product using old Intel chipset. Good LGA775 processor support. Using an Intel 520 P4 processor I had laying around and Windows XP software and product key. Interesting install.
Cons: Slow boot. BIOS would not recognize my SATA harddrive. Switched BIOS set-up for harddrives to "campatability" mode, which seems to have solved the problem. No Win7 drivers.
Easy install
Pros: Easy installation on an older motherboard with Windows 10.
Overall Review: Recommended.
Install and Go!
Pros: It's memory. You expect it to just work.
Overall Review: No fuss, no muss. Just as expected.
Great CPU
Pros: No problem. Installed in my ASROCK mobo and booted right away. Excited to have a modern quad-core CPU at a great price.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Great.
Surprised
Pros: Windows 10 Tablet. Fairly responsive. Inexpensive. Good for travel, if you get a protective cover.
Cons: Only about 5GB memory available, due to Windows 10 install. Plastic screen. Touch sensitivity is poor. Screen resolution is grainy.
Overall Review: Wanted something inexpensive that I wouldn't mind losing/breaking to take with me on trips to keep in touch with friends and family.
