Its fine. Doesn't o/c but works. Works well with vista and xp.

As stated above, it's definately not an overclocker. Also some folks have reported problems in getting SATA drives to work - not sure if that's because drivers still need to be installed or user error.

You can also get is cheaper from scan & ebuyer:

I personally think this is the best buy 939 mobo at the moment.

It costs bit more but you can use Google Checkout to get 10quid reduction. I heard this one overclocks to fsb290 which is amazing at this price.

I've got one in my server and it's a good board. Very stable and works straight out the box. Only annoyance is that you can't change the voltages, I was wanting to undervolt my cpu. And it only has one fan header! (apart from the CPU one)

thx for the info , i just wanted a cheap board to last me till i upgrade my cpu . i needed a pci-e mobo to use my new 8800gts 320 , but i have said in other threads i prefer to collect in person my hardware i buy . this helps reduce the time if i have problems with the hardware
