I ordered this PCChips board as an exact replacement for the board which died in our Small Business Server. This new board was DOA. Would not even attempt to boot. Obtaining an RMA from TigerDirect was a simple matter, and I replaced this board with an ASUS P5N-MX, which, after installing a few drivers, has been running without issue ever since.

I bought this board to use in a cheap Linux box. It's to be used by a group of students in a lab so I just wanted something cheap where I had admin rights, install software, and works. You get what you pay for. Low on features, but it works and booted right up without a single hitch. It does the job.

First time doing a full build. Have done upgrades before, but nothing like this. Anyway, great motherboard for the price. The board felt solid and had no problem getting the computer going. Manual was great, more so if you have some experience. Great MOBO at a great price for introductory level computer. Paired with an Intel 2.2GHz Pentium Dual Core, 4gigs of ram and 160GB HDD.

PCI Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with current PCI hardware.
