Pros: Very stable once you update the BIOS. Pretty straightforward BIOS, lots of overclocking options and potential.
Cons: Apparently the BIOS needs to be updated out of the box.
Overall Review: I immediately flashed the BIOS to F6 after installing Vista. Never had any stability problems or BSOD because of the mobo itself. Using this with an E8500 and 4GB GSkill PC8500 RAM (2x2gb). Mobo recognized the RAM and posted with no problems, though I did have to tweak the settings. CPU is OC'd to 3.8 ghz (400 x 9.5), cores never go over 56C with an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro. Antec 900 keeps it all cool.
