Duration of ownership:1 Months
Strengths: Every Gamer's Dream MB.
Weaknesses: Only 1 PCI Slot. If using PCI x16 Slots, it will block the PCI x1 Slots.
Overall Evaluation: It is a board for the enthusiast. For the enthusiast who is looking for stability, hardcore performance and oodles of BIOS tweaks, abit has done it right with this board. The BIOS revisions keep getting better adding even more performance and lower, half-step CPU multipliers. I own Corsair DDR2 6400 2x1GB = 2GB Kits and the board accepts them with minimal tinkering. Although, I did have to go into the BIOS and adjust the default voltage to their standard volt settings. It's rock solid stable running a Dual Core X2 6400+ Blackbox Edition. The board overclocks very well and is definitely a must-have for those who crave all the features listed above and of course; Fatal1ty! The onboard LED-BIOS display is a nice touch. If you get beep codes you can easily reference the code on the display to the list in the manual.
