Pros: Great memory bandwidth with Socket-939 package.
Cons: Original firmware was a little unstable. I'm not sure it likes my Adaptec 2940U2W very much but will work if setup properly.
Overall Review: The original firmware would cause freezing on every 10th boot (or so). Turning off "Show PC-Health in Post" in BIOS eliminated the problem until a firmware update was available. I think there might be a conflict between the SCSI BIOS and MB BIOS. After the learning curve.....It's a great board! .
