Good budget board, I installed it into my case and connected everything and was up and running within an hour and a half from the time I shut down the system with the old hardware in it. I am running a AMD Sempron 2800+ 64-bit chip on it with a ThermalTake heatsink and fan and it is running cool enought to do some overclocking to get more value out of the parts. The board and processor were under $200 before tax and shipping so overall not expensive and more then adiquate performance

Motherboard works fine, and is everything I expected, but be had severe issues at first due to RAM incompatibility issues. Ensure the motherboard has been tested for the RAM you buy.
