I have been using Biostar motherboards for over ten (10) years and what I like about is they are dependable. In that ten (10) year span I have not had any of them fail. This TA990FXE Motherboard is very dependable and fast. I used mine with 16GB of RAM and a 250GB SSD. System load time from a blank disk was 8 minutes to install Windows 7 Ultimate. It works great with SSD Drives. Biostar Motherboards will not overclock very high, but I never overclock my computer anyway, as I find no need to push a 4GHz Chip to 5GHz. This type of behavior is for people knowledgeable on pushing the voltage and the other components to their maximum usage. I just like plain and steady. For me until a company makes a really outstanding motherboard at a very decent price I will just stick with Biostar. For me they just work and who can ask for more than that.
