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.
