Bought this combo because I needed two IDE controllers and the brisbane cpu is only 65 watts.Well it rocks,plenty fast enough for me, and with the thermaltake TR2-R1 cooler it runs cool & quiet. I'm not a hard core gammer. Loaded XP pro with no issues, very pleased.

Had 1 major problem with mobo it came with the jumper to clear the real time clock was in the wrong position and my new build would not boot. After elminating all the new parts and ready to ship it back and then i seen the jumper, moved it over and it booted. 1 minor issue the mobo only uses 6 stand offs so the area of the ram slots is a little weak. the system runs great tho, would recommend it for the price and we all need a little challenge other wise we wouldn't build computers!!
