Very nice board, was easy to install, Only con is the On board video heat sink was a bit loose, don't hold on to it! Everything else was good.

Installation was easy. Computer worked great until I tried to install XP Pro. Bought 2 1tb Hitachi SATA drives for RAID 1. I could not get XP Pro to recognize the drives. Installed Ubuntu - they were recognized immediately. Tried installing SATA drivers provided by Gigabyte, didn't work. Eventually got it working after several days but drives are being viewed as IDE. Don't know what performance hit I'm taking, if any. Instead of RAID 1, I am backing up data files to 2nd drive daily. So, problem is more of a software issue than a hardware issue.

This is my first build. I didnt want to spend a fortune but when I seen this and considering my needs in a pc, this seemed worth taking a chance. The dual BIOS is awesome. The intial boot needs to be from a SATA port hard drive. Figured that out the hard way. This board has every port you can think of and plenty of USB ports. The onboard Gigabyte graphix card is sufficient and even surprising on a lot of pc games. This is defintely what I was looking for.

For start its cheap fast works flawless what more could you ask for $60 paired with phenomII 555be was able to unlock the 2 cores no problem

got this DOA, thought it might be a power supply issue but I checked and its not. DOA is common among motherboards so I can't say if this one is bad or good. However, the return policy was very good as I got a shipping label and a full refund. thanks

Purchased this to upgrade my older ECS Geforce6100SM-M2. That board only had 2 sata connectors and two memory slots. Paired this with a quad core 9650. Works great. SInce the old board ran x86 and I installed 64 bit win7 with this one, I have 4GB dual channel on the way. Even with 3gb and single channel this is a very noticable improvement in performance. This board is perfect for a nice, solid mid-range PC build.

While not top of the line the value is there. No real big negatives it is stable could use more memory capacity as well as more card slots.

With an AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.8Ghz AM3 CPU its just screams.Was going to make just a video server out of it, but it's now being slated to becoming the next workstation. The upgrade for the system it was replacing wasnt expected for 6mo, but now have pushed this date to later this month.

Great Board. Does Everything I Need It To Do Plus More. Running OS Like A Dream.

Purchased with the AMD 550 BE and this board did everything i wanted it to and more. for price you cant beat it.

I bought this in a bundle with an AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9 Ghz processor. Coupled with 4GB of OCZ Ram and an inexpensive 1GB 9500GT Nvidia graphics card , I built a great computer that will run any new game I throw at it all for under $400. I think I got a steal.

The is the last piece of the in building a computer, over the last six months. This is my first one and all parts from your company. It is now downloading OS and thank you guys for your support, service. When I had to return a part. you were very pleasant and prompt. Thank you. All is working great.

Has alot of the common connections most need. Layout could be better, but overall not a bad MB.

Comment:
It's fast with the AMD Phenom II X4 965, 8 gigs of memory, Windows 7 (64 bit). I had a little problem with anchoring the CPU, but that could be just my own brain-fart. All the other connections were easy to identify and install. If you want to run 2 monitors, a separate video card is needed. The mobo works great with 1 monitor.

Comment:
the whole package arrived 1 day earlier from UPS, paired this thing with x4 620 they fly

Comment:
I had no problems at all with this board.I liked it so much I ordered another for a second build. It also allowed me to unlock the extra cores on my AMD 550 Black Edition cpu to make it a quad core with stock bios. Gigabyte has my business from now on. The HD looks great and also BluRay looks great on this MB on my 26 inch LCD. Buy this MB and you will be glad you did.

My old ECS motherboard fried. I bought this and a new power supply and had my PC up and running in about an hour. Easy to install, easy to setup and loaded with bells and whistles. I would definatley reccomend this product. And BTW, buy it from Tiger!

Works great! Saw my memory right away, and runs Win7 flawlessly!

Put this in my new build and it booted up with no problems. It has a on board ati 4200 graphics card and it does great, I was surprised graphic look great. I just built this computer for every day use not for gaming, but I put a few med. games on this and they look great. If your on a budget this is a good board for the money. get it you wont be sorry.

a very economical upgrade. It was easy to install even the software worked flawlessly which is sometimes not the case. I had to make an exchange within a few days and they were most gracious in handling this matter. I am extremely pleased with the motherboard.
