I don't like to skimp when purchasing a motherbaord because it is a critical component. After doing some research, I settled on this motherboard because it has the features that I wanted all for a reasonable price. The bios options are plentiful for those who like to tweak their systems. I have not had any issues whatsoever with it. I contribute to Folding@Home ([...]) and it runs almost 24/7 with both cores of my Athlon II X2 240 AM3 2.8GHZ 2MB 45NM 65W CPU at 100%. I have overclocked mine to 3.1Ghz with stock voltage (1.425 volts). I'm sure that I can go higher, but I have to have CPU stability when folding, so I'm not going to push it too hard for now.

Believe me when I say this, you are better off spending a little more for a motherbaord and power supply, especially a power supply! Next to the motherbaord, the power supply is the most important component in your PC. By brand name power supplies and spare yourself the trouble of a fried PC becuase you bought a cheap power supply!

I have installed this board in several machines now and have yet to have any issues with it. All the boards I ordered worked perfectly. I ordered this board for my own system. I am running this board with a Phenom II 940 overclocked to 3.6Ghz with 4GB od Kingston HyperX 1066 Ram.

This system board has more features than I'll ever use. I bought three of these. One for my multimedia center and the others for myself and my wife's PCs. The media center PC is running a dual-core AMD low-power CPU and the others are running quad-core Phenoms. I really appreciated all the SATA ports/options on the media center PC which has 5 HDDs and a DVD. The boards come packaged with more than enough SATA cables, and every other type of cable you might need, as well as a complete manual. Everything works. Fully Linux compatible (>2.6.29). The newer BIOS available from Gigabyte even supports the new 6-core AMD Phenoms. Worth every penny.
