Pros: This is my fourth ASUS mobo and as with the other three, it recognized everything from the very first power up. It's very reliable, my system is flawlessly stable. Zero complaints.
Cons: It doesn't make Shaq make more movies.
Overall Review: I'm fine with the new bios. I'm surprised it's such a hot topic. Keep this in mind: it only has one chassis fan slot. My chassis had two fans which require mobo connectors, so I have one fan doing nothing. I'm not docking an egg, because it's my fault for not looking closer at the specs.
Pros: Easy to set up, slim profile.
Cons: It needs to be restarted constantly for the internet connection to not be laggy. I'll be switching back to my old linksys 54g.
Overall Review: The power cable is on the short side. Not a con for me, but if your power outlet is far away it may be an issue (it's about 4 or 5 feet long).
Pros: Works right out of the box, recognized everything right off the bat, not issues at all. One year of use, zero problems so far.
Cons: The faceplate refused to install into the case, so it was throw into the garbage. This is not a big deal for me, so I won't dock an egg. It's just a faceplate.
Overall Review: This board doesn't have a ton of fancy features. But it also doesn't advertise that it does and it is cost efficient. I have it installed for a mid-range system and everything works great.
Pros: Top mounted, easy to install, has all the connections you need for a decent build at an excellent price. Fired up everything on first try with no hiccups. Have had zero issues in several months of daily use. Not obnoxious fan color (if you don't like color fans, like me).
Cons: Doesn't lower my cholesterol.
Overall Review: The cables are not modular. They are not advertised as module though, so you can't dock it for that.
Pros: For the price, this thing flies. I have it installed in a build for every day tasks, Skyping, video watching, etc. Integrated graphics handle these things just fine. Multitasks with ease. Runs cool with stock fan. I do not feel that I need to buy anything additional.
Cons: Doesn't save me money on my car insurance.
Pros: It does exactly what you suppose it would do. I have it installed on a simple workstation machine and it works great for simple, every day tasks. Nice budge RAM
Cons: Doesn't whiten my teeth while I sleep.
