One of the biggest problems I have...
Strengths: Very stable and user friendly if you FOLLOW THE BOARD DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!!!!!!!
Weakness: none yet
One of the biggest problems I have found almost always is related to improper building procedures. People need to understand STATIC DISCHARGE! Before you even take the board out of the box you need to be grounded.alot of folk take there board out while standing on carpet and give of discharge sometimes a little sometimes alot, but even the slightest burst can cause an active attenuation thus...

Alright, I think this is a record....
Strengths: Very nice silver board (rare) with purple PCI slots. 6 channel sound adapter. CompactFlash card and memory stick reader. USB connections great.
Weakness: Overclocking doesn't seem to work. Although it states FOUR IDE connectors, I could only get TWO of them to work (with all possible combinations). Now I have to use TWO IDE controller cards!
Alright, I think this is a record. I returned this board THREE times. Yes, this is my FOURTH board. All in a matter of a week or so. First time, the BIOS had a problem. Second time, I believe, I may have whacked it too hard when removing the memory. Third time, BIOS problem. I believe it may have been due to my attempt to overclock it. I'm running an AMD Athlon XP 2200 with 13 fans (soon to be 17...

This was my first attempt at...
Strengths: Very well laid out board with ample information in the manual.
Weakness: None at this time
This was my first attempt at building my own computer. My only problem was trying to figure out what the manual was talking about after 4 martinis, I don't recommend trying that at home. The on board sound is great and I love the flash card reader. The board still brings gasps from my friends when they see it through the case window. I don't know what all those other people are complaining about....

Strengths: More Reliable than most boards.
Weakness: No Support for the novice
The board itself has worked well for me. However, it did take me awhile to find the right combination of components to make it work. I agree that if you do not have a lot of experience this board can be frustrating. (I have had boards from ASUS, MSI, ABIT, and Shuttle that are easier to setup.) In my opinion what will be frustrating for the user who doesn't have years of white box work is the...
