    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: overclock easily

    Weaknesses:tweaking only show as +, not true number. No Raid

    Overall Evaluation: I can overclock my E2180 from 200x10(2 GHz) to 400x8(3.2 GHz) with this motherboard, just like many many other reviewers. If I did something wrong, it would fix itself and I donot worry about srew up my hardwares. Wish it has Raid. Also the voltage increasement shows as +.1,+.2,etc. I wish it show 1.8V,1.9V instead. Go for this one and you cannot be wrong with this greatly reviewed one. Very happy experience!

    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: OC ability, sata connectors, WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD!

    Weaknesses:No raid, only 1 IDE connector.

    Overall Evaluation: Awesome board. I installed this, a e8400 and some crucial RAM and it booted on first try and went smooth from there. Also recognized my 500gig WD Sata HD with no trouble. The bios is easy to work with, and the supplied software is great. You can OC in the bios or within windows. From full advanced mode to a easy(percentage) mode.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Stable, economical, Intel P35 chipset

    Weaknesses:No RAID, NO Firewire, only 1 PATA port

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this motherboard to build a faster rig. This is a basic P35 chipset based motherboard and at the time was competing with an ABIT MB which seemed to have a dual bootup problem. I am running it with 4x1 GB DD2 RAM and Vista Premium x64 with a Q6600 processor. It is very stable and fast. Using stock fan and no overclocking, I have not had any problems. I would highly recommend it for anyone who does not need RAID. If you need that, Gigabyte offers the DS3R model. The layout on it is pretty nice and allows for easy access to various components. 4 USB ports on the back panel and has headers for 8 more on the MB. In addition, it has digital Audio OUT on the back panel which is pretty nice if you need to use it in an HTPC. Overall very happy with the build quality and the price that I paid for it.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: competitive price, high quality and very nicely built.

    Weaknesses:no 1394 port, only one IDE port.

    Overall Evaluation: Bought this MB for my E4500, overclocked to 2.8GHz with no single problem, works great. I wish it could have a on-board 1394 port, so that I don't need to leave empty the 1394 port on the front panel of my computer case. Besides that, no complains. And the pro thing is, the SATA ports are easily accessible since they are vertical towards the MB.
