Pros: All-in-one with sound/vid and even sata raid. Supports my "legacy" DDR400 2 gigs of Kingston RAM. Was a very simple swap out with an existing AMD based installation. (ie; Same "computer" I just upgraded to dual core with this new MB... bought a combo with a pentuim D 2.66 for $99... from New Egg) What else.... it has AGP so I get to keep my freak show AGP card. ($$$$, I'm glad it had AGP! Whew!) Bought and tested a second one for back-up. Get the picture?

Cons: Any bodys MB can be dead out of the box. I have had the best names come out the box dead as DEAD. And cheap (Chaintech, ECS) work perfectly from day 1 for years. I am persuaded somewhat, if it's a MB and it's out of Taiwan... it's just a gamble you take with DOA. Thier manufacturing must be... I'll bet it isn't ISO certified!

Overall Review: Buy it and roll the MotherBoard dice... you got New Egg backing you up.

Pros: Very cheap, supposedly allows you to keep your expensive AGP graphics cards while using the new CORE 2 DUO CPU's. Well that is a load of bull....read my cons.

Cons: This is a modified version of their p23 v1.0 motherboard. it supposedly runs the new Intel CPUs with no problem. But that's not true. Set this thing up(with it's great price) and you'll have nothing but problems. It crashes ALL the time. I mean....ALL...the time. If you try to run media applications or play games. Here's what I use my pc for most and it always freezes. I game a lot. (AOE3, COD2, CSS etc....) and I burn a lot of cds or dvds. Well, with this motherboard I can no longer BURN anything. My pc will freeze during the process of burning. Don't waste your money on this PC thinking it'll be a cheap upgrade since you can use your old RAM and Graphics card and harddrives etc. with the new Core 2 Duo CPU. I made that mistake...thankgod it was only forty bills down the drain.

Overall Review: Like others, I bought this for the easy upgrade (cheap) to the new cpu's. I didn't have the spare cash to buy a new GPU, RAM, or sata harddrives so I reused my IDE drives and my AGP graphics card. I figured I'd use this for a few months to a year and then upgrade to a new PCI-E motherboard with a new graphics card and ram. I mean, it was like a forty dollar rental....but man, if i had a choice I would never had moved to this system. Like the others. it CRASHES everytime I play games and try to run "comprehensive" applications like NERO to burn dvds etc. STAY away unless you only want this to be an internet PC....even then you'll get random freezes, but not as often as running software. /end of rant. Hope I saved you some money.

Pros: I actually have no problem with the board so far. It's a PC chips, so it's cheap, and if it goes out it won't break the bank to replace it.

Cons: After forcing me to pay for 3 day shipping (when I would be more than happy to save money and use UPS ground), I got the package in ground time anyway. I submitted this order last Sunday, and here I sit on Friday just having recieved my package. Perhaps my math is at fault, but that sure looks like 5 day shipping to me, not three.

Pros: Well I installed 2 of these in computers i sold both custermer's where very pleased with how it work it was easy and came with v3 i love to get leters for my work allthough the cost of the computer was around 400.00 and didn't make much in profit. i had the satisfaction of puting a smile on someones face..

Cons: none

Overall Review: whats great is you can use the old chips you allready have in this board. and later down the line you can update it thats awsom will bring in more bussiness for me later down the road...

Pros: Cheap board that supports dual core. Bought two boards and both work great, not bad for PcChips.

Cons: Manual has no useful information. This is not good for those whom have no experience in upgrading mobo's

Overall Review: Great board for the price, will see how long it last

Pros: A great cheap and stable system with Pentium D 805 2.66. Support both DDR and DD2 memory.

Cons: Does all the job. So far nothing to complain.

Pros: Not wanting to upgrade my old APG graphics card, I really like this board. It had everything I was looking for (in the mid-range) and was pretty cheap.

Cons: My first was DOA. I sent it in and got my next one promptly (gotta love newegg). I've been using it for a couple weeks, but have been experiencing random restarts and crashes that I'm pretty certain aren't related to any other hardware or software. The documentation is horrible - just a couple pages on the installation. I've yet to look at the stuff on the CD though.

Overall Review: It's possible that the fault of the crashes lies elsewhere, but with a clean Windows install and everything, I'm thinking this board is going to be a temporary one. I would go with something else.

Pros: 5 stars b/c I got Core 2 performance for 1/3 the cost of a full feature MB and could reuse most components and it worked Inexpensive path to get Core 2 Duo. Runs Vista RTM x32. Works with the default Vista drivers.

Cons: Limited upgradability

Overall Review: If trying to recycle stuff from you last computer check your power supply - this one needs the standard 20 pin main connector + a 4 pin 12V (P4). I used dual channel OCZ DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) RAM and it worked great. I should be able to recycle this RAM and Core2 in the future vs. buying surely end of life DDR2 533. The price delta was negligible after mail in rebate.
