i bought mine for about £100,this motherboard is great because it has 2 onboard ethernet adaptors,it has sata onboard,it has an Nvidia Nforce2 sound card which delivers exellent 5.1 sound.It is very expandable because it has 5 PCI slots.This motherboard takes AMD athlon proccessors up to the 3200+ range.It has firewire onboard.The memory fits PC3200,2700,2100,1600 DDR,dual memory support for ultra speed. Features:COP (cpu over heating protection),Q-fan technology,powerloss restart,CPU throttle.Ports:parrallel,serial,2x ps/2,audio I/O,2 net adaptors,6x usb ports (4 onboard).the motherboard is ATX 12inch x 9.6inch.setting up the motherboard was very easy as the manual that comes with it covers pretty much everything,there is a support line,which i believe is very helpfull,i have had this motherboard for over a year now and i have found this a great piece of hardware.the 'POST' screen is cool as it tells you a report in the voice of a lady which can be changed!.if you are a linux user,then good for you,because this motherboard is very compatible.i have ran Xandros,knoppix,gnoppix wihout trouble.also i am running windowsXP without any problems.i hope you have learnt a bit from this review,in one word to describe this motherboard - EXCELLENT!.
