Exceptional motherboard
My new Budget Friendly build handles Microsoft's FSX with ease along with Wow and Diablo 3. All 3 games are pretty much maxed out in settings. Coupled this with the Corsair High Performance Vengeance memory, EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti video card and the AMD FX-4300 CPU running at 3.8 Ghz on Windows 7.

Great MB
ASUS is a great company that makes good quality products. This board is great for an AMD gaming rig if you want to do mild overclocking. I have no complaints easy install and awesome BIOS.

Great value
Very straightforward in every sense. This was an easy install and worked right out of the box with only minor tweaks needed. The BIOS is as intuitive as any other with the usual lack of explanation of advanced features. Google is your friend. The only warning I will give is to put your SATA optical drives on ports 5 & 6 and use IDE mode. Windows installs will probably fail otherwise.

Works
Everything was as expected. Easy to install. No problems. The basic bios has been dumbed down completely. The advanced bios lets you do whatever you want. Good for all levels of users. If you want to over clock and have no clue, it's one button. If you know what you are doing and want to tweak the F out of it, it's there.
