Pros: has great potential
Cons: but it is potential unrealized. i was just given board #3 after the first two failed. first one died as did the second one. this one i have to restart 3-5 times before it will POST! all newegg will do is RMA and give me another Identical one. dont want it anymore! I cant even upgrade to a better, more expensive board. And we all know how great the biostar tech help is...not great at all. takes weeks to get a response.
Overall Review: I would NOT recommend this board to anyone. I have lost more time dealing with this m-board. working on a computer is how I make my living and this has killed my productivity. all told, between the 3 boards, shipping, RMA processing,tearing it apart and rebuilding again, I've lost nearly 8 weeks of work.
