Comment:
received it fast, installed with duel core CPU and run without any problem with Windows 7. Using it to write the review now.

Great value for a great price. Very easy to install. On-board video lacks a little, but more than sufficient for everything other than games and CAD.

This board is easy to install and good work. The performance is so good. I recommand for repair a PC.

Solid mother board for everday computing and a bit more. I run recording equipment on this board with no fuss. for the price you definitely cant complain. If you are using graphic heavy applications i suggest replacing the on board video with a card. Constant video load seems it may burn your board like most cheap basic integrated video. But don't get me wrong it can run video well but not made for heavy prolonged video use.

My only complaint with the board is the drivers that accompanied it. The drivers arrived on a dvd disc. Since I didn't have a dvd optical drive or purchase one with the kit, I could not get the board up and running until I found a friend with a computer to copy the drivers onto a thumb drive. Once I ran the drivers from the thumb drive. the board worked wonderfully. However, there should have been some warning in the sales promo.

Installed easy,works great. for the week I have used it I like it.

The board appaarently works fast and is of quality. The problem is that it is supposed to be Windows 7 Compliant, and it is not. I believe it is or will be recalled due to serious problems with the onboard video. It is a shame as it is a fine board and deserves better rating. However, it is my opinion that any board produced today should have at its main goal the Window 7 OS. This is not just the furture, it is here.

Since this board did everything I needed it to do with no hassles at all I'm extremely happy with it. There could be something better on the market for the price but this works perfect for my purposes.

Comment:
Simply put, it worked just as described. Which unfortunately is very rare.

Comment:
Easy to install. Easy to configure. Easy to run. Just plain easy. Booting and program access much faster. If an old man can do this, anyone can.

Good board, easy set up and work great

Comment:
Built a pc for a Christmas present dual core proc, 4 gigs ram using onboard video and audio set up and worked fine, user thinks its the fastest thing he has ever used, very happy.

Bought this in bundle with Intel Dual Core. Never had so many blue screens, IE8 errors, loss of network and internet. Just generally a piece of unstable junk. I replaced with another board and now system is flawless

Comment:
Onboard graphics is awesome; but I'm using a video card. PCI-E slot is too close to the PCI slots. Other than that, I'm satisfied with this board.

put the barbones kit togeather in about one houreverything started right up havent had a single proublem , its been running for 3 months straight without a hitch

Comment:
The second motherboard did not work, so we called and asked for the exchange. Every thing went smoothly. Thanks.

Comment:
Upgraded from a ECS board with similar specs, the old board started failing at post every other boot 4 months after installation. Not only does this board work as Advertised but it blew my expectations away. Nothing but good things to say about Gigabyte, never had a problem with any of there hardware. on a side note if you have never installed a MB in your life there are very good instructions included, dont forget your antistatic strap if you dont have one!

Comment:
This is a small form factor board. Board was active about 2 hrs then stopped working. Currenly waiting on return status.

I'm using an Itel E5300 along with this motherboard for a home server. I chose it over a Atom motherboard to have a little more expandability and I'm glad I did. I can stream movies to three different (Xbox, WD TV Lives) devices while backing up my computers and it dosen't miss a beat.

Comment:
great value, instructions on web very good easy to install (my first one) works first time

Comment:
Popped a Q9550 in it. No Overclocking used. Solid board for our practice rig (ableton software). Good stuff.

Comment:
Bought one MB, returned it and then another. Neither worked. Returned for a MSI MB.

Comment:
Bought this with an Intel dual core prosser and everything worked fine from the start except my Linksys wireless adapter. Windows 7 did not like the software, but finally got it working. Best board I ever had.

Comment:
I bought this motherboard as a combo deal with a Core 2 Duo E8200 processor to upgrade my current setup. The board contained ample slots and hookups to suit all my needs, and even has extra bonuses (up to 8 GB RAM, 4 SATA connectors, and the option to upgrade to Core 2 Quad without switching boards) makes this seem to be a solid product that will be used for a time to come.
