Great Motherboard. Highly recommended!
Pros
- Great for future upgrade (faster Athlon 64/FX) - Very stable
Cons
- Nothing! - Don't get refurb ASUS though!
Recommended it?
Yes
939 pin Mobo for Athlon 64/FX. Thus very good for future upgrade. Doesn't have a PCI Epxress port, so unless you have tones of money to purchase new PCI-X graphic card, you won't need this. Therefore, for a regular gamer like me, with my 8x AGP I'm perfectly fine.
The board is also very very stable, even with Bios 1008, which is not the latest. 1Gb of CAS 2.5 RAM gives me very good performance.
I've hesitated between Abit AV8 and MSI Neo2 Platinum. I finally made my decision after studying the board layout, and preferred ASUS. More space for air circulation and large CPU fan/heatsink (mine: Thermaltake SilentBoost K8, #A1838. Great and quiet).
