    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: not much

    Weaknesses: RAM issues and heat

    Overall Evaluation: First off with this board there are huge problems figuring out which RAM slots will read correctly. It seems to be different for everyone so you have to try several times to get it right. Until you get it right it wont boot. Once you get it right it still gets a bit touchy from time to time with the RAM. The worst problem this board has though is its heat issue. It has only passive cooling on the NB and no cooling on the SB. Even without overclocking it gets way too hot. I finally had to RMA mine.

    Strengths: The board is a great bang for the buck. I did not have any problems while installing and getting it to run at all. Great board if you want the SLI technology. Easy to configure BIOS.

    Weaknesses: haven't tried installing vista on it so i can't say there are any problems with that.

    Overall Evaluation: I would definitely consider getting this board again because it is the best bang for the buck. The price is unbeatable. Overclocking on this board is very easy. I am running E6600 on this and overclocked it to 3.2Ghz without any problems. If you are in the market for a great board without paying a whole lot for performance and overall good board, this one is definitely it. PS - the BIOS flashing utility is awesome and so easy.

    Duration of ownership:1 Months

    Strengths: Great features for an affordable price. So far performance has been excellent. Lots of resources and OC options. STABILITY is awesome.

    Weaknesses: Doesnt have 8 channel sound but is not a big deal.

    Overall Evaluation: Would get this board again without question. If you want SLI on the cheap with good features go with this board. I am trying to get this work with microsoft vista ultimate edition x64 and 4 gb of memory but from 3 gb and up the system is getting down. I will edit this as soon i finf this problem.
