Pros: I thought it high time I write a review on this Mobo. I bought it here on Newegg back in 2009 along with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE CPU and I'll be darned if these jokers aren't still running like champs! I've been contemplating upgrading,but why? I don't know, I guess I just have googly eyes for new tech, but this build along with 8gb 1600 DDR3 Ram has been running solid since that time with all kinds of gaming power. I think I have gone through 4 GPUs in the time I've owned the CPU/Mobo combo. Good stuff! I now have it on Windows 10 without issues (at least hardware issues...stupid microsoft auto-updates). Thank you MSI for a cheap solid build for cost conscience gamers!

Cons: None that I can think of

Overall Review: Way to late to buy, but if you can grab new (unlikely) then pair it with a Phenom II X4 955 and be happy for years!

Pros: I thought it high time I write a review on this CPU. I bought it here on Newegg back in 2009 along with the MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 mobo and I'll be darned if these jokers aren't still running like champs! I've been contemplating upgrading,but why? I don't know, I guess I just have googly eyes for new tech, but this build along with 8gb 1600 DDR3 Ram has been running solid since that time with all kinds of gaming power. I think I have gone through 4 GPUs in the time I've owned the CPU/Mobo combo. Good stuf! I now have it on Windows 10 without issues (at least hardware issues...stupid microsoft auto-updates). Thank you AMD for a cheap solid build for cost conscience gamers!

Cons: Not a one!

Overall Review: Probably to late recommend buying, but great CPU if you can still get new!

Pros: I have been able to install and run this on both Win XP and Win 7 32-bit. I haven't tried on Win7 64-bit yet so I cannot comment on that. This product works great when you get it to install correctly. I use it to burn copy of old football games and they look great. Surprisingly in Win 7 it actually IMPROVES the product while encoding. I found this a welcome surprise and was truly excited since it was almost a semi-HD picture...unbelievable! The software is pretty intuitive for me as a tech user, but a regular PC user may have to read up a little on what certain things mean. One other great thing is it has a editing feature to allow you to remove commercials or other portions from your recordings.

Cons: I couldn't get this to install on my Vista home PC, but both my XP and Win 7 laptop run in great. Also, the 2 hour recording limit is kind of a pain when I am trying copy a 4 hour football game (with commercials) so I have to split it in two.

Overall Review: Install seems to be finicky and can take a while even in high powered machines so be patient. Once installed the product worked very good for me. However, the price should probably be cheaper for this product.
