Pros: There is no display port

Cons: None

Overall Review: Was getting mixed up with my Gigabyte Silent Radeon HD 6770

Pros: Looks pretty. Light as a feather. Works long enough to install Windows 7 then dies slowly locking the machine up.

Cons: Spent more time and money on shipping the thing back and forth.

Overall Review: I hope I can get a store credit as I have wasted $22.50 shipping this back twice. Samsung needs to work on their quality control. Not recommended.I am sticking to real hard drives for now.

Pros: Looks like a nice board has good features. Never worked properly out of the box. Would shut down randomly and the bis would change the boot options to a different drive or DVD. The power supply was a 1000w Enermax. The previous MB had no issues and the Asus one that replaced this one does not either.

Cons: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/BIOS/mb_bios_ga-970a-ds3_f6.exe This may help someone out. I sent it back I did not like the powering on and off during restarts or reboots and the constant changing of options in the bios.

Overall Review: Need to remember to take notice of the feedback, this board has issues and has probably been rushed out to market. Waiting for New Egg to process the RMA.

Pros: Good feature for the money, forward thinking with backwards compatibility. Has Floppy port (really in this day and age) IDE connector and 8 SATA ports 2 of which are 6GBs and use a separate controller. Basically works fine now I have finally discover the SATA 3 ports have been randomly bad since I got the board. I even RA 2 Samsung SSD as they did not work in this board. I finally tracked it down when the Hard Drive on one odf the Sata 3 ports disappeared after 20 mins.

Cons: Providing SATA 3 ports to be used as boot drives with the ports going AWOL randomly is not good. This is my 4th ASROCK board and the only one I have had issues with.

Overall Review: Not recommended if you intend to use the2 sata 3 6 GBs ports . Otherwise a good basic board for a good basic PC let down by build quality. It is a pain to RA the board for 2 sata ports.

Pros: Inexpensive, runs cool, runs quietly. Can be used for flawless Blu Ray and other HD playbck. Not a gaming card but will play casual games (Luxor Bejeweled HD versions) with no lag. Runs the Aliens vs Predator D3D11 Benchmark V1.03 scarily well.I am not a gamer but use the PC for running virtual machines, email, surfing, coding editing music and photos. A great all round card. Gigabyte also stands by the warranty. I personally have 7 various Gigabyte Video cards and they have all been reliable and good performers.

Cons: Not gonna play the latest games.,Why are you even looking here?

Overall Review: Obviously for the latest games you would not be looking here but if you want to upgrade your workstation this card is recommended providing you have at least a 400W PSU. For those of you with 2 of these cards and you wish to enable Crossfire, In the catalyst Control Centre place a check mark in the box "Enable Crossfire" and reboot. How hard is that?

Pros: 7200rpm standard IDE Hard drive. Reliable makes an excellent OS boot drive in a multi hard drive system. Exactly what I use it for.

Cons: It owes me nothing. 10 years old in July 2013.

Overall Review: Don't buy a huge hard drive for the OS, get one big enough. The OS will be faster on the dedicated drive like this.
