I Love motherboards like this one which has the ability to accept many many different types of CPU's which makes this board upgradeable well into the future, I just wish it was DDR3 memory But the DDR2 1200 MHz is pretty darn close, One very important aspect to keep in mind when installing DDR2 1066 Or DDR2 1200 one should install a Dual Core like Intel E8500 Or Quad Core like Intel Q9400 which are 1333 MHz, I Love the Sound Blaster Audio Card but what I really like is all the 3 wire fan pin headers which the board has. The Red and Blue Q connectors which come with the board aren't well constructed they are extremely loose, that's why I never use them, but the white Q connector is fine and offers a great connections thats why I always use, PLUS its great to connect all the connectors to and then plug it into the board. The list of positive points run deep for this motherboard is fantastic. Oh I almost forgot the ability to overclock the CPU and the memory is awsome, however if this could only be perfected to the point of not having to restart the compter every time overclocking is applied.

Stock this board is worth every cent. It is better than RPOG earlier 775 boards (all of them) I run this baby overclocked with a e8500 running 9.5 x 445 FSB or 4233mhz or 34 % overclocked on the CPU. I have 12:10 divide on DDR2-1066 RAM with about 8% overclock and all this is STABLE. I have been able to push fsb to nearly 500mhz but was not able to find 100% stable settings. The RAID 0 on this board with 2 hard drives gives about 150 to 180 mb/sec and I have it combined with a Corsair 60gb Accelerator Series SSD pulling about 200 to 280 mb/sec. It will cold boot in windows 7 64 bit in 17 seconds and 19 seconds including log-in. The Sound Card for onbaord card is first rate and the creative drivers work well to produce good sound in 2.1 and 5.1 sound. I have not tried 7.1 sound. The layout of the board is good and I found no issues when hooking everything up. When I bought this board it did not come with the LCD Poster or besel, prehaps the besel would or should be offered. I used the LCD poster off my old ASUS board and it works find with this one. Lastly is temps running overclocked the motherboard ambinet temp is 35 deg, south bridge is 44deg, north bridge is 50deg under 100% load. Idle the sb is 42deg, nb is 47deg. CPU has a giant 120 ultra on it with 2 120mm Noctua fans running 30 deg idle and about 48deg under full loading. I would recommend this motherboard as better than all the other Asus 775 RPOG boards of which I have owned 2 other types of 775 RPOG boards.Read full review
Lots of options great preference motherboard is loaded with BIOS configuration features and has tons of hardware options and advancements. 8 SATA ports, 6-12 USB 2.0 ports, AI Overclocking and so on. Once setup, this motherboard has absolutely phenomenal performance. My boot time on Windows 7 is 6-8 seconds!
The Motherboard is a high performance gaming board with many bios features for manual and auto adjustment. also it is very Expandable for future upgrades. and the price was reasonable. all and all a good deal at the Time.
