Pros: Insanely OSX compatible. Feels more stable running Leopard than many Apple Macs I've used. Intel seems to go for conservative, rugged and reliable, vs. bleeding edge overclockable, but it pays off in system stability. Great that it has 4 SATA ports.

Cons: It would be nice to have more than 2 RAM slots and a capacity for more than 4GB, but you can't have everything, so no complaints.

Overall Review: This, an E4600 Allendale, 4GB of Mushkin DDR800, 500GB Samsung HD makes for a sweet <$500 Hackintosh.

Pros: I've ordered several of these boards and have always gotten an extremely stable system. I don't do overclocking, so this can't be considered a con for me. The board has an easy to use BIOS, and a great layout.

Cons: Could have more SATA connections, but then again, it's hard for most people to fill them, I've just really been digging it lately.

Overall Review: Newbs need to stop giving products 1 star just because they don't know squat about computers. Memtest is a 32 bit program. If you read up on your latest technogeek stuff, you'll realize that 32-bit means 4 gigabytes, but that the motherboard already has it's own cache. NEWB!

Pros: the board works, its low power and it has a real IDE port and ich7 which works on pretty much any OS. and its just as fast as the g33 boards. Basically you give up 2 dimm slots , and maybe 2 sata ports, but you get real IDE, and pay less money. Seems like a good deal to me. also i only use an e4400 now, but i figure I might as well be ready when wolfdales are cheap or maybe a quad core. Oh and even though intel's chipset specs for some reason say g31 only supports 1066 bus, their board specs say it supports 1333 bus and it does. they did this with the 946gz also, saying it only supports 800bus but all their boards actaully said 1066bus. must have been a last minute change

Cons: It could have been even cheaper.

Overall Review: I don't really overclock anymore so I just buy the intel branded boards. the bios updates using the NT bootloader are nice (no boot cds!) and they always come with 2 sata cables not 1 like every other brand with value boards which is also nice. the board is very solid, and Wake on Lan probably actually works (cheap foxconn ones this doesnt seem to be the case)

Pros: This is the second one of these boards that I have purchased. Both went into decent gaming machines. They are reliable, easy to use, and solid. Note: Although it only has two RAM slots, they are still in seperate, Dual-Channels. So you still get the performance benefits.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Newegg rocks. It's the only site where I take reviews from other people seriously (most of the time ;) ).

Pros: Excellent board as usual from Intel.

Cons: Shipped with 0028 BIOS, so the board didn't recognize the E7200 CPU I ordered with it. Had to create a bootable CD-ROM and add the current BIOS available from Intel (0052). Fortunately, I had an old Core 2 processor available to put on the board to do the BIOS update.

Pros: Everything well labeled. Good layout for I/O cards and onboard connectors. Intel onboard graphics rates 4.5 on Experience Index. Includes monitoring software for Voltages and Temp. Great BIOS program. Includes extra hardware for mounting. Digital Audio out. Great price.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Installed new Antel 200 case. Intel E5200 CPU, Coursair 650 PSU, EVGA GTX250 video card, SPDIF adapter, Parallel LPT Adapter, 1394 port adapter. Hitachi 350 SATA drive, Liteon 24X SATA DVD RW drive, WD 250 IDE drive. Experience Rating is now 6.0

Pros: Worked great from April 23 to June 22. 2 months? That's it? Commmoonnnn Intel! I knew it was cheap but I was expecting a death right after the 1 year warranty =)

Cons: She just died. I finaly got her to post the Intel splash screen after extensive CMOS battery clearing and BIOS jumper reset, but, she just blacks out after that. No access to BIOS, not even so much as a warning message, just blank screen as if somebody pulled the plug on the monitor.

Overall Review: I never usually take peoples word on electronics, as their is alot of people out there who "claim" to know what their talking about, however the negative ratings held justice on this one. I work for a MAJOR corporate office's MIS department, and well, I should have listened. The people were right on this.

Pros: work great, not hard to instale

Cons: none yet
