This is for any of the 50 or so people who decided to go with this motherboard. The board originally took an unreasonably long time to begin the boot process. It took the better part of a minute to beep and display the startup screen. The latest bios upgrade solves this problem and generally, I'm quite pleased with the board. I am, at present, using aa Athlon 64 X2 +5000 cpu with 4 gig of Corsair 667 memory in dual channel configuration. I have 2 Sapphire X1950 Pro video cards with 512 Meg of ram each in crossfire configuration. 3 Western Digital hard drives for a total of 1 TB. Not absolutely a killer system, but definately above average. BTW, using Windows Vista Ultimate. Just got Dream scenes. Very pretty, and doesn't bog down this system in the leastt.
