Yea it's good from a specs point of view. Plenty of slots for everything....wait...You need a special slot for PCIe cards right? or do you need just a PCI slot for PCIe Cards? The rest of it's just from a brand point of view...and i'm not that good at that.

I playied around with one of these motherboards last week.

Please note that memory need to be all matching modules, otherwise it will not boot up. The Dual Channel ram is rather fussy on it.
Most other boards will just run at Single channel with un matching pairs. This motherboard will not run at all if the ram is not matching. And ALL must be matching.

Apart from that, this mother board is really good if you have no plans to upgrade your video card to PCI-X.


Apart from that, it's good motherboard. I like it.
