What more can I say?
When it comes to computers, ASUS components are number 1 in my book. The only glitches I had was that I was kinda hoping to install Windows XP as my OS but that's so 2001 and my RAM doesn't run at 2133MHZ like it advertises.

Good Value, Works Perfectly
Installed the MB with no problems, Used FX-6100 processor. Plugged in all the cables, installed Windows 7 64 bit - everything worked. The easiest build I ever made.

Very happy!
Bought this motherboard for my first build. No problems whatsoever. The BIOS is incredibly easy to use, and very intuitive. Could not really ask for anything more in a first build type motherboard; it has everything I need. Never experienced problems. Recommended!
