Blazing Speed
This mother board set up with the correct memory and a SSD Solid State Drive for your OS Operating System, (Windows) After updating all drivers and updates it bench-marked on the high end. Even without a video card just using the on board video that was the only thing from benching better. This is a winner. A must for the price.
