pros: compatible with all current C2Duos and C2Quads, integrated wi-fi, full pci-e 16x.
cons: limited heatsink & fan options; will accept stock intel hs/fan only a certain way; won't fit most aftermarket coolers.
other: great full-featured board at a nice price. stuck it in a old-school Nintendo box with intel C2Duo E8400 and 2x2Gb ram. using pico-psu 150/102W runs great with windows XP! a bit hot, but i'm not using a conventional case. using one sata port for hdd, and the e-sata for external backup hdd. no optical disk drive, but not a problem, have lots of usb ports. wi-fi reception is sometimes low, but it's dependent on the location. use it for work and study related operations, but can run Counter Strike: Source with no problems, for a quick break from it all. i'm very satisfied with this board, thinking of getting another, but Intel just made the socket obsolete :(
