ASUS M4A88TD-M Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Built a "general use" computer with this board. No gaming, so the onboard Radeon graphics is more than adequate. This was a no brainer install using an Athlon II X4 640 Quad cpu and 4 GB of G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Ripjaws at 1600. Windows 7 64 bit installed and ran perfectly. This is a nice board and I wouldn't hesitate using another for this type of computer.

I bought this for my first PC build because of its many options and compatibility with the other stuff I was buying (the corsair RAM listed in another review works great with this board, its the same ones I bought for mine) I especially like that it has a few IDE slots ready as I was coming from an older computer and needed to move my data off the old drives onto the new system easily as well as keep a single drive in the tray for future access with ease.it comes with 3 SATA cables (2X3Gb/ps and 1X6Gb/ps) as well as an IDE cable right out of the boxthe software installed easily and quickly and booted like a charm, just make sure EVERYTHING is connected and setup properly (my friend who was helping me build the comp made a tiny mistake and we spent half an hour trying to figure out what we did wrong lol)as well its awesome the board has a built in 1GB onboard video which I rely on as a backup in case my video card ever hits the bucket (likely won't) but its wise to keep it off if you already have a video card (no point in running both, doesn't make any difference :P)overall I'd recommend this board for a good budget build board that's reliable and affordable.

Purchased for a friend's compy build where price-functionality point was key. Great board with great features for a very good price. No Complaints. I will probably get more of these for other builds.

This was the first board I have bought and I am not disappointed. Finding ram for this thing was a little bit of a challenge for a descent price. Ended up using the "Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9" it booted up like a charm. Unlocking cores is very simple and updating the bios can be done through Windows.
