Pros: great layout, DDR2 support, Geforce 6100, north & southbridge setup, software jumpers, great manual and great software. For a cheap no-thrills rocksolid motherboard this one is great. Absolutely no install problems, runs great, and does a better than expected job with games. I love software jumpers. u Rig = Athlon 64 3200+, Crucial Ballistix DDRII 800MHz, Seagate 160Gb HD, Plextor 750 burner, Sony DVD player, YE-data 7 in l (basic rig for a friend)
Cons: none so far.
Overall Review: I had the Asus board that is consistently DOA (ASUS M2NPV-VM). Glad I returned it and got this board.
