This board has most of the options you can expect from a motherboard. You can just plug the motherboard and forget about any add-on cards. This prevents stability issues. But even if you plug in additional cards, this board handled our torture test with no problems.

Installation is easier than ever. Everything is already on the board. LAN , 5.1 Channel Audio with digital output. UDMA 133 Support and RAID. A lot of USB Ports and USB 2.0 support. Put the board, memory,VGA and the CPU, plug the cables and fire it up (OK It Sounds too easy, don't forget to read our How to first). Thats it. It will be cheaper than buying all those add-on cards too. Very good brand and support. It is really hard to analyze performance results though. Some of them are top and one of them is the lowest. May be it is just a driver issue. Anyway, I made my peace with a lot more stable and powerful SIS.
