Very good Motherboard

Strengths: Crossfire 3200 chipset Cool and quiet Solid

Weakness: None for me

I bought this board with a dual core 5600 amd processor, 2 gig of kingston 800 ram, sataII 160 hd, and dropped a radeon x1650 pro turbo (iceq) graphics card in it. It is a sweet machine.

Don't blame this board for problems...

Weakness: Might need to update BIOS w/a more current version for proper hardware compatibility; Wasn’t able to successfully install the new (Full) Windows Vista Premium OS in conjunction w/it's RAID & Crossfire.

I bought this motherboard, thinking it would be more than adequate for the soon-to-be released Windows Vista OS, but after weeks of trying to do a full, clean install of the 32-bit version of (Microsoft) Windows Vista Premium, I was unsuccessful & tried to get Geek Squad, a local technical support agency, to try installing the new Vista OS, but after nine days of attempts, not even they could do...
