THE GOOD:Easy to set up. Benchmarked with the best of them and I leave the thing on for days without a crash. Mine also came with creative sound (5xxx something). I don't use it but it will be good for when this becomes a second system.
THE BAD:
No overclocking. It would be nice since amd cpus are so easy to overclock but good for novice users or people who can't be bothered with it.
SUMMARY:
This board does not like 256mb dimms. I tried two different ones from the same manufacurer (xerox). It boots fine but when games run it will crash to the desktop or lock up. Two 128 mb dimms at cas 2 works like a champ. All Geforce cards worked too. I'm a gamer and have no complaints
