(Note 1) Due to Windows XP 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB. (Note 2) Whether 1066 MHz memory speed is supported depends on the CPU being used. (Note 3) Use of a CPU that supports ECC is required if you wish to install ECC memory. (Note 4) Whether the CPU/ system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/ system cooler you installed. (Note 5) Available functions in Easytune may differ by motherboard model. (Note 6) Due to the hardware limitation, you must install the AMD AM2+ Phenom™ series CPU to enable support for Easy Energy Saver.
Remark
Due to different Linux support condition provided by chipset vendors, please download Linux driver from chipset vendors' website or 3rd party website.
Due to most hardware/software vendors no longer offer support for Win9X/ME. If some vendors still has Win9X/ME drivers available, we will publish on website.

This is a pretty good board. The only things I would really change are mentioned above. I don't like cables running to the middle of the board. Otherwise, I have not issues running a Athlon II x4 635 and 4gb of G.Skill PC2-8000 DIMMS.

Got this board in May and I got rev 2.1. I was able to unlock 2 cores on my CPU to give me a quad core. Board layout is good (except for the 8 pin 12v power) and there are 2xPWM headers on this board. The CPU area is a little tight for larger coolers and I have to rest my CPU fan on-top of either my RAM or my NB (Scythe Ninja rev2). Overall a good board, especially for the price!

No complaints aside from trying to mount an after market CPU cooler was a pain in the arse, as the bridge cooler was too close to allow for easy attachment. 16 gb or ram support is a nice bonus, as is 6 SATA ports, and a plethora of usb ports. Nice bang for buck, good base for a budget gaming build, though would like to see something in this range with DDR3 and dual PCI-E support.

Apart from not having esata, it is good board. What separates this board from some of the others is that it doesn't have integrated graphics. This is good if you plan on buying a discrete graphics card. If you use a lot of pci-e slots this is the board for you.

Very good. Front audio connector is all the way at the back of the Mobo however
Decent BIOS....lots of hidden software on the driver disk. wish this mobo came with an overclocking utility however. Otherwise laid out very well.

I've built a computer with this motherboard and I have no complaints to make yet. The CPU installation and ram installation was easy as cake. Installing the GPU was not a problem and everything is fine. The only thing that lacks quality is the driver CD wich is really easy to intall but lacks a bit of nice visual.

I needed a cheap ATX board with DDR2 and support for the latest AM3 Phenoms. This fit the bill nicely. The one I received was revision 2.0, so it has the SB710 southbridge.
C&Q disables if you change the multiplier to overclock (I have a X2 550 Black Edition). I like to have my cake and eat it to, so I changed the CPU freq instead - got it up to 3.6ghz. Fan control is good, use SpeedFan to fully control the CPU and SYS1 fans.
