Pros: Does most of what it's supposed to do: works with LGA1555 CPUs, memory capacity is satisfying, enables the onboard video of the Sandy Bridge CPUs with a variety of video-out options. Doesn't allow for any meaningful overclock but that is a known characteristic of the H67 chipset. Has a whole host of connectivity options - many USB ports and expansion slots. I particularly like the 3 PCI slots since I have older hardware that I wanted to keep using (Creative Xfi for soundfont support etc)

Cons: Power issues, especially related to hibernation. 1. If the power is cut off (e.g. unplugged cord, or power switch on the back of the power supply) for any amount of time, even just a minute, after the power is restored the motherboard will not POST successfully. The first 1-2 attempts result in no video and beeps (1 long, 2 shorts). If you keep hitting the reset button it will eventually POST and function normally. This beep pattern usually means a problem with the video card, and that makes no sense. 2. It will not hibernate properly. This is with Win7 x64, which does hibernate without problems on my other machines. The GA-H67A-UD3H will go into hibernation and turn off like it should, but after about a minute it will wake up and restart every single time. There are no settings in either the power options in win7 or in the bios that tell it to wake up like this, so I assume it's just weird behavior of the motherboard. I use hibernation a lot on my machines so I'm subtracting 1 e

Overall Review: Apart from the power and hibernation problems it does what it's supposed to. I hope that a future bios update will fix those.

Pros: Good value - ccheap and preforming well - while it works.

Cons: One module (blue heatspreader) purchased 3 years ago still works fine, but the second module (same model nimber but silver heatspreader) started to cause my computer to crash after 1 year, and tested with many bad locations in memtest86.

Overall Review: I will probably not buy this brand again.

Pros: I had been wanting for a while to get an 8800GT, and I'm very happy with the choice I made. I was a bit nervous about getting a passively cooled vidcard that also needs an aux power connector, but I read the reviews and decided to go ahead anyway. And I'm glad I did. The card runs at a cool 45°, or 51-52° when overclocked. And that's without the turbo fans (but I do have a side fan in my case that blows air almost directly on top of the card). Best stable overclock is 747 core/1075 memory (from the stock 650/950).

Cons: Uhh... it's big. Not a con really. I had no trouble fitting it, but I have a full tower case. Not really unexpected, I mean you want power and silent, you need big. No other cons I can think of.

Overall Review: Shoulda gotten two, but can't afford the second one yet. Maybe the price will come down a bit more while I wait.

Pros: At first I didn't notice much of an improvement in system responsiveness as I was expecting from a dual-core (this is my first). But then I in stalled the AMD K8 driver and what a difference! My compile times have gone down dramatically compared to the previous A64 3400+, applications are more responsive etc. Didn't try to overclock it yet because I need better cooling.

Cons: It's weird, and maybe it's due to my setup. In CoreTemp the two cores show radically different temperatures, such as one core at 30 degrees and the other at 42. I'm thinking that maybe it's true and the first core gets better cooling than the second one. I have a Zalman 7000 AlCu composite HSF, it has a streak of copper down the middle of the contact surface and aluminum for the rest. Perhaps that explains the results. I'll get another cooler and see if that corrects the situation. Again, not a con per se but maybe a consequence of my setup.

Overall Review: I would buy again

Pros: I have been running a 512M stick of this memory since early 2003. At various times it was overclocked up to 250 MHz and always ran perfectly stable - still going strong in my new X2 rig. I recently got another stick of the same, and it paired nicely with the old stick to run as dual-channel. Too bad the heat spreader is silver now instead of blue - I liked the blue better.

Cons: Really none that I can think of.

Overall Review: Would I buy again? Yes, gladly.

Pros: Good basic board, some support for fine tuning CPU and memory parameters. Good price (free with combo). No major problems except for USB.

Cons: Layout: the PCI-express x16 slot is so close to the first PCI slot as to make it unusable - even with a normal video card, not one with oversized cooler. USB: The on-board USB is all but unusable. My USB keyboard and mouse cannot be used with this motherboard, even after updating the bios to the latest revision (1.1e), updating the nForce drivers etc. They freeze randomly 2-3 times a minute for a few seconds and this makes typing and using a mouse impossible. I had to go back to a PS/2 KB+mouse. Other people (google to the rescue!) have had even worse trouble with USB devices, including hard lockups with USB drives etc.

Overall Review: I'll stick with it for the time being as using my old keyboard and mouse isn't too much of a hassle, but I'll try to replace it sooner rather than later.
