This is a decent board for office or basic multimedia tasks. I'm using it for my DAW(Digital Audio Workstation) and it seems to do fine. Running ProTools 8 very well. A large improvement over my previous board(M2V-MX which was a dog. Avoid the budget VIA chipsets. Horrible.

This is a very good motherboard will recommend it to anyone who is planning on purchasing an AMD CPU. This can handle AMD Phenom 9600 2.3GHz and 4GB of Ram, 4USB, 1 PCIE , and 2 PCI all at the same time and maintain a good cool temperature. I dont overclock so I cant really leave a feedback on that. The best feature I would say is express gate. I can get to the internet in 5 seconds. Awesome. Get what I need very fast and I can just switch to OS at any time. And the crossfire is awesome it boost performance like 25% in some games. I would totally buy a next one if I am getting a next system.
