Advantages: Great first Over clocker
Disadvantages: Northbridgr retainer poor
This is a great board for the price.
The over clocking features are simple and easy to understand, this would make a great first board to start over clocking.
The on board spacing is good and the IDE cables are sideway mounted so they face the front of the case.
Good points
3 Ram slots for max 3GB ram. Easy over clock and thermal cut out if it goes wrong. AGP 8X slot, All components are major branded
Bad Points
The Northbridge heat sink retaining clips are not very well soldered on. This seems a common problem after a quick search on the internet. Easy solution if you are good with a soldering iron, and replace the thermal paste to lower temps slightly. I also added a fan as it is next to an AUX fan supply.
I know the board is getting on abit now but if available will be a great starting point and great fun.
Summary: Great board
