Pros: A reasonably priced board that allowed me to use my older DDR400 with a Socket 775 processor and still have room for upgrades in RAM to DDR2. The board layout is good and it fired right up and runs very stably.
Cons: Not too nuts about the VIA chipset, but in fairness have had no issues with performance or drivers to date.
Overall Review: A great budget board with the ability to use DDR and DDR2. I did not use the on-board video, but it could allow you to save up or wait to upgrade later to a PCI-E video card. My son loves his new PC. Games work great on it (nVidia 7600T added).
