Features

I got to say this board is loaded. 4 USB 2.0 ports 4 USB 1.1 ports. UltraATA 133. RAID 0,1,0+1, D-Bracket, live BIOS update. Great quality. Jumperless settings. What can I say more? 5 PCI Slots are not bad but top motherboards have 6 PCI Slots. If I would saw keyboard power on I would mark this board as perfect.

Stability and Compatibility

This board is definitely stable. We saw no problems at all.

Installation

Blocking of memory by AGP + D-Bracket location were minuses. Secure AGP Slot was a plus.

Performance

This motherboard is fast. Near to expensive Rambus Solution.

Support

Good Internet Site, detailed manuals, frequently updated BIOS's and drivers.

Conclusion

This board is good for Power users and overclockers who are looking for the best. I definitely choose DDR to Rambus, and this board is a very good DDR solution.
