Advantages: Lots of USB ports and connectors

Disadvantages: Simultaneous hdmi and DVI not possible

I purchased this motherboard a few months ago for approx £50 from Ebuyer as part of a new system build. When looking for a motherboard there are a few brands one can choose however I decided from the start to go for a board manufactured by Asus due to its reputation rather than risk saving a few pounds with some other cheap unknown Chinese brand such as Asrock. Since I was building a PC within a micro-atx case with a dual core AMD CPU this seemed like it would do the job perfectly. There are a couple of PCI slots a PCI express slot, 4 ram slots, VGA, HDMI, DVI and plently of USB slots. The onboard graphics while nothing amazing are more than sufficient for anyone who doesn't plan to render advanced 3D graphics or play games.

Overall I'm satisfied with the performance and don't have many complaints except for the fact that one cannot use hdmi and DVI simultaneously. There's also Splashtop software available for quickboot into a minimal OS without booting Windows but Splashtop seems to be slow and generally useless. Overall if you're looking for a motherboard I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
