Bought this to replace a different board that died, reusing processor and memory. Didn't realize it had onboard accelerated NVIDIA video (runs smooth as silk in XBMC). Only using 2 of the 4 onboard SATA ports so far, but plan to expand. Great value for the price. Makes a great backbone for an Media Center machine.

Bought to upgrade an old computer, is easy to install and works great.

I bought this board to replace an hp beanded board. I have two gripes about it. 1) the cpu fan runs at full speed at all times. 2) there should be more pci slots on it. All in all, it is a decent board for the price.

Bought to replace a bad Pc Chips board. Works fine a little slow on speed but dependable. Good value for the price.

Can't ask for better product for this price. Works perfectly!

It works wonderfully. I only had one problem. The usb ports blew out. I plugged in my ipod. The computer shut off. Then the usb ports wouldn't work no more. I guess it blew them? Besides that. It's a really good budget board. It has a lot of overclocking options for a budget board. It can handle a little push too. A lot more than i expected. Overall great board except for the minor usb port blowout, which i just bought an pci card with usb slots on it. It was only like ten bucks.

I have used ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, XFX, ECS, and BIOSTAR. Biostar has the worst quality. XFX has the most difficult support system.

Got this in a deal with X2 5000 processor. As my first build, upgrading from an older board and processor, it works well. No problems caused by the hardware so far.

I've been using this board for about 10 months now and it's only given me one problem: the onboard ethernet died. I threw a wireless PCI card in there and it's still working. Aside from that one disappointment, this isn't a bad board for the price. There are better motherboards out there, but you pay for quality.

Part of a barebones kit. works great so far.

Great for the build and sell.

Installed one of these for a basic internet and office machine . So far it works as advertised with no glitches. Time will tell.

I have had other basic MB with built-in graphic and sound features that never been acceptable, and always purchased separate cards as a result. But not with this MB! Both have performed very well and have given me no reason to add any other cards. Additionally, there are enough USB and other specs that makes this MB an excellent value.

I received this mobo as part of a barebones kit. I did have some problem installing it because the installation holes in the case did not match the mobo. This is not the fault of the mobo. It works just great. Not even one little problem so far

Comment:
This board was for my first build and I liked the board. My only hiccup was the onboard graphics made my old CRT monitor flicker. I am not an expert. It may be because of age of monitor. But overall great value for money.

Comment:
Great mobo I have it run with AMD 5200 7600 graphic card and it is really fast.

I am temporarily shelving this product until I accumulate all the components needed to do a complete upgrade of an existing XP setup. I appreciate the feedback of others who have already implemented usage of the Motherboard

Comment:
An easy and compact board. Setup is a snap unless you are upgrading a Vista box in which case you are probably going to have a bad day. But that is Microsoft's entire fault. The on board graphics are surprisingly good. Go to Biostar to get the updated drivers; the CD drivers are out of date.

Comment:
This is an excellent product for a quick build to get into the Win 7 arena. Almost everything you need right out of the box to be up and running. Yes you can do better for much more money but if on a budget give it a try.

got this in a bare bones kit, and can't stand it, been using it for a year now, and have decided to upgrade to a cr0ss hair 3 and 965 125w cpu, used this with a 5000 BE and only overclocking i could do was with the multiplier, wanted to reach 3.5ghz but was only able to achieve 3.0 buy another board and save yourself the hassle and regret

Comment:
needs a parallel port, otherwise all I expected and more.

I plan on upgrading to 4 gb. I recomend this to any one thats not a highend gamer or enthusiest.

I've had this motherboard for nine months now and it has performed flawlessly with XP Pro. I bought to replace my 5 year old Biostar that got fried in a thunderstorm while turned off, and in spite of using a $70 surge protector. I highly recommend this for everyday use, but can't give an opinion for gamers.
