Pros: In my last review I stated that the Bigfoot Networks Killer e2100 didn't work. Well, it seems the problem only really effected people with Verizon FIOS ISP. Recently they released a new driver, and it fixes the problem. The Windows 7 driver (6.1.0.317) for the Killer e2100 at Gigabytes website is the old one that doesn't work, and that is the only driver available at Killergaming.com at the time of writing. However, the Windows 8 driver (6.1.0.403) from Gigabytes website works flawlessly on Windows 7, and fixes the issue many people had. Some reason Killergaming doesn't have the driver on their website, and their tech support is unaware of the fix! So some internal issues with Killergaming are going on. Anyway... I give the motherboard 4 stars. This is a good motherboard after all!

Cons: The only issue remaining is the lack of 16bit USB support in BIOS. My Corsair Vengeance K90 keyboard doesn't work in BIOS, however works in Windows. I'm told by Corsair it is because the keyboard is 16bit USB and standard is 8bit. Gigabyte could fix this with a BIOS update, but they haven't yet.

Overall Review: I'm happy that the networks adapter issue was taken care of, and this motherboard seems to be a good buy so far!
