I built two systems using this mobo, nice inexpensive (not CHEAP) hardware.I wasn't impressed with the system after build. (quad core cpu, 2g x2ram) . I had to run games with reduced grafics, and in the case of GTA4 just not able to run it.I put a 9800GT video card in the sytem, and all that changed. WOW is able to run 25mans with full settings (no shadow) and AAx8. GTA4 runs smooth, and looks awesome.Using the hybrid SLI, so far no problems.Great inexpensive hardware for the price for a media machine. Gamers should look to get a mobo with real SLI potential and duel ch ram.

If you want a board that overclocks nicely without killing your wallet, go for this board. Hybrid SLI is also built into the motherboard, so you can use GeForce boost to power weaker cards (like the 8500GT) or you can use Hybrid Power to save energy by switching between your mighty GPU and integrated GPU depending on use.

Haven't quite got the system I am using this in running yet, but so far I am pleased with it. Solid caps, lots of PCIe 1x slots. 6 sata ports and an IDE port with excellent placement. Onboard CPU post display as well as power and reset buttons. Solid buy so far.
