Great for Server

I bought this board for its eSATA connections. I was having trouble finding a board that could handle use as a server. Finally a board that lets you use all the drive bays. I haven't used it as a gamer but I can tell you it handles CAD and extreme processor use applications perfectly.

Amazingly easy motherboard

I just got one of these for my first build and it went smoothly. Everything fit together nicely and worked on the first try. The only thing I would caution you on is not installing the express gate. It takes you to another screen before your OS boots up every time and you have to click on the button that says Enter OS.

Nice Motherboard.

The one thing I didn't like about this motherboard is that it wouldn't let me boot up from my EIDE hard drive which had the OS on it and all my files and programs.I had to go out and buy a new SATA hard drive and start from scratch installing the OS and,programs and files and folders.They should have given me the choice of a bootable IDE or SATA bootable drive.Also the same thing for for my CD Rom drive which was an EIDE.I had to buy a new SATA compatible one so I can boot from it to install the OS.Just an added expense I didn't need.Besides all this it is still a good board.
