Inexpensive "all-in-one" motherboards typically do not deliver great performance. But, I've found this one to be an exception. I'm using it in a media center PC with an AMD X2 3.0 Ghz processor and 2GB of RAM and running 64 bit Vista Premium Edition.
-It is 100% compatible with Vista and delivers quick, flawless performance.
-The onboard graphics capabilities are very good.
-Performance is good even with tasks that are very demanding of system resources such as watching/recording ... Read More

I bought this elsewhere. The price was about the same as Amazon. It worked fine right out of the box and I am happy with it. The reason for my comment is just a word of warning. The default video setting is DVI. So if you don't have a DVI-D connector on your monitor, it will look like the board is defective.
BTW, you don't need the $79.00 gold plated DVI cable that Circutit City sells (grrrr). My $20 cable works just fine.
Rating: - Good Board - Make sure it is right for you!
Good board.
1. Not a first choice for overclocking but you can squeeze a little something out of it if you need it ;-)
2. Only ONE IDE controller, so if you want to re-use older drives, make sure that you understand that you will only be able to use TWO drives! In my case I was using SATA drives so it didn't matter.
3. Layout is good, even though it is a small board, you'll be able to use extra long video cards without bumping anything on else the mainboard.

DOA out of the Box. I must say that it's probably the worst type of MOBO to come DOA, ever try installing a Micro-ATX MOBO?
Everything powers up,all LED's on MOBO are green, yet no video out....
Disappointing.
Rating: - Great Value and easy to install.
Nothing bad to say... drivers loaded great...board has everything included other than wireless adapter. GB lan... Cheap and good... I am ordering a second one.
