Customer Reviews

Good Mobo
This is a good mobo, it comes with an integrated graphic card so if you want to build a cheap and quality computer this is a very good option.
I used it for build my rig with a core quad q6600 and a gforce 8800gt and 4gb of ocz ram, and everything work perfectly.
Support for 8gb of ram with 4 ddr2 slots, pci express port for graphic card if you want, pci port, and two mini pci express ports, ide, sata, firewire, dvi, 64bit computation, etc.
Overall it's an excellent solution the only thing that you are not going to find on it it's over clocking capabilities which is fine for a mobo of this price.
Very recommended.

*** Excelente relación precio valor ***

Excellent Motherboard
This board is great for those who may be looking to make the transition from PATA to SATA (1 PATA & 4 SATA11) and VGA to HDMI (has both ports). or just like having that option.

Used this board with the following components with no problems

Hard Drive: WD 1TB 7200rpm 16MB cache Sata11.
Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 Processor, 2.5 GHz, 2M L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, LGA775
Ram: 4GB (2x2) Corsair XMS2 DDR2 (4-4-4-12, 64Mx8 DRAMS)
DVD Burner: LG Lightscribe SATA11
Running Windows XP Professional

Installation was very simple.. Intel all-in-one installation cd did all the work for the mobo drivers. Sound drivers were also good. Have had trouble in the past with the essential series boards conflicting with the microsoft xp sound drivers (especially for high def sound)..

All told this is a great motherboard.. at least until DDR3 and i7 processor prices drop :)
