Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardThe rfirst board I got was defective, but after trioubleshooting with Intel, I returned it without any expense or hassle. I'm delighted with the new computer.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI bought this MB for a "living room" computer and liked it so much I bought another for my main computer. They have Intel E2200 and E6300 CPUs and are quite a bit faster than my P4 motherboards. What stunned me is PassMark Benchmarks rate the on board video much faster then my PCIX 16 video card with ATI chip set and fan! The only thing I miss is it lacks a floppy interface.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardThis was the best budget motherboard that I could find in a Barebones kit. This had the most expansion slots in the form of PCI compared with the other kits and most other microATX boards. This is a great value.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardA great MB, I have used 3 of these and everything has gone great. A solid foundation for any computer.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardLove it, but it beeps LOUDLY twice every time it reboots. Sort of annoying when every other night you are awoken by your PC chirping at you installing Vista updates, and there is NO WAY to turn it off. What was Intel thinking? Do they not realize so many college students have their computers in their dorm rooms and like to sleep while leaving their computer on??

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardNice board, well laid out. Will probably get another for HTPC build. Pentium dual core, crucial 800meg. memory

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI bought this motherboard for ease, Has everything I needed, easy to install, works like a gem, I absolutely love Intel boards because they keep them simple and work great on Windows and Linux. When I move up to a Intel i7 Core I hope they have a mATX board like this. Fits great in Thermaltake Lanbox also. This is my 7th Intel board, to me there is no other choice.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 Motherboardeasy as pie to install and works beautifully.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI use it with 4G memmory, and a 500G SATA HD. Computer runs very fast and smooth.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardGreat board and really easy to set up. Documentation is not too bad (better than most) and has a nice color chart to tell you how to set it up, although the chart is missing a few steps and a few things you have to guess at. No problems if you know what you're doing. Nice features and works great.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardPart of a barebone system for my mom for Mother's day. She had a 2002 HP with a hamster in a wheel, so she's quite impressed.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardThis was a great board for a price-point build that needed integrated video, GB NIC, and sound, and needed to run newer Core 2 Duos. Good price, driver package on one disc, everything worked on first boot. XP burn in: three days, no crash.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI got this board both for the price and some features. I needed to upgrade an old computer and decided on this board but half way through I ended up using new items to go along with it. This was used for my first pc build. I was a little familiar with 775 boards plus I liked PCIe x16 slot along with older PCI slots, it worked well for various video cards which was good for my budget. Having 4 SATA connectors helped indeed for the new HD. The two DDR 2 slots was just enough to where Vista 32bit can be run without any hitches.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardHad a slight problem whne loading XP the video drive through the BIOS had to be reset or uodated. Other than that the motherboard work very nicely.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI haven't built a computer since before sata. The instructions were just a bit thin. I'm sure it saved fifty cents, but the manual being on the cd is patently silly. Lucky for me I did have a laptop available to read it. Board is laid out well, nicely finished. Just know that it is THIN and you must treat it with respect assembling. Near the end of the install I had to make a couple of leaps of faith but it fired off at once and runs very nicely.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI bought this to convert a HP Pavilion with Vista over to XP Pro and it works like a champ. It could use an extra USB header for the USB ports in the front but I can live with it. I coupled it with the Intel processor package and it all went together smoothly. Compared to spending an extra couple hundred to fully replace a Vista desktop, this one is a great purchase.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardHave built two systems now with this motherboard and have been very pleased with the results.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardHave had this board for two months now. Have had no problems with it. Had to find parallel header cable and get a sata cable, but documentation is good and works great with win xp.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardThis board seems to work well, the one problem I have is it does not have a front fan connector. aside from that I would say it is very good.

Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5400 CPU BX80571E5400This is a good example of Intels workmanship I was pleased with the speed and performane of this CPU.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardGood mobo no problems with it.

Comment:
Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardHad this thing for about a month now. I have very few complaints at this point and the ones I do have are minor. Sata plugs are in a bad spot and some more space between card slots would be nice. Like I said - minor. Bonuses include fantastic onboard video. I'm waiting for an expansion video card now, but the onboard is far better than I expected. Sure there are better boards, but I'm pleased.

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardHello good board Window-sxp-32bit will only recognize 3gig. but Windows-xp-64bit will show 4gig. beware!Great option cables needed. For all options but great mobo Intel! Great job Tiger!

Intel DG41RQ Socket 775 MotherboardI used this with a quad core processor. The system went together just as I expected and booted without difficulty. I didn't have to make any changes to the BIOS although the options look plentiful. With the quad core CPU and 4GB of RAM the system screams. A video render that took 5 hrs on my old system finished in 52 minutes on this one. The one complaint is the fact that while the motherboard has headers for a parallel port, a serial port, and SPDIF, there are no cables. Fine for the price, but PLEASE, include the option of where to purchase and cost. I'd add SPDIF and Parallel port at the drop of a hat, but searching for the right cables makes it a pain.
