REVIEW BY: Death Ruin Reviewed  Nov 13, 2008
Great board for the price. Be careful you make sure you have a 533 or 800 mhz processor otherwise it won't work. I found out the hard way. But when I got my new cpu everything worked great. The software that comes with it is not so helpful for overclocking, however the HD Sound built in is a nice bragging right to lord over your friends that end up buying a seperate card to do the same thing. I maxed out this board in every way and I got a 15 fps increase from an AMD64 board. I would highly recommend this MB to anyone upgrading an old PC.

I replaced my Intel board with this one and am very satisfied with it. Although it only had 1 ide port I got a new hard drive with SATA and it even improved my computers response time. I put an EVGA 8500GT PCIe and 2gb of ram on it with an Intel Celeron D 3.06 ghz CPU and it makes my games a whole new experience to play including, my graphics programs. Shipping as always great less than 3 days.
