Great Motherboard

Strengths: too many to list

Weakness: the northbridge and southbridge have non standard hole patterns

This is a great motherboard and I will recommend it to anyone. With the new BIOS update it even fixes the problem with the 2.4GHz problem. When Memmory comes down in price I might spring for 16GB of memory which is the max capacity
