I bought this board along with a Q6600, 4GB of ram, and an EVGA video card. I have to say that the system has been running very smoothly, even though the RAM I purchased was not on Gigabyte's tested RAM list. The 8 SATA ports is an excellent feature of this board, especially seeing as I am running RAID arrays. The location of the front panel audio connectors is a little inconvenient, however, as it is on the far side of the case (causes you to run the cables around the video card).

Upgraded from an ancient AMD board. Put in a Q6600 and overclocked to 3GHz easily. Updated the BIOS easily without a floppy (an issue I had on my old computer as I had no floppy). Fits a Noctua NH-U12P easily.

This is really a good deal. Nice instruction booklet and easy to install. The only sad point you need to by a external lpt1 and com port adapter to plug on the motherboard.

I have a Mushkin HP PC2-6400 (4-4-4-12) and I was getting lots of memory errors and it turns out that F1 version of the BIOS doesn't support a lot of memory brands so I had to get version F2 and flash the BIOS. Flashing was really easy and I used the iBIOS utility (offline).
Bought this with Q6600.. easily overclocked to 3.0 GHz on stock cooler. Only problem was the manual didn't explain what the "System Boost" was. (The STANDARD/TURBO/EXTREME)
