Good board . it is really stable, good for overclocking.it has FSB 400 so if you put a Sempron 2800+ on it with FSB333 you could teoreticaly bring it to 3360+ but you would need a good cooler.it has a 64 bit DDR400 memory controler wich suports 2gb of memory on two DDR slots. Two ATA133 IDE conectors suporting for IDE devices like for HDDs. The problem is the low performance 256 E integrated grafics chip which will not give you to amny points on 3Dmark 2001 SE , but wich is good enaugh for office.but fortunatley for the AGP 8X you coul place A nice ATI 9550 grafics card from Gecube wich will give you together with the Sempron 2800+ about 13000 in 3Dmark 2001 SE and 2800 in 3Dmark 2003. and so that's about it about this board ,good for office and if you want with just 75$ you could make it a game demon with ATI9550.NFS underground 2 will work perfectly at max rezolution and max detail.

Advantages: Fast, easy setup, good enough manual Disadvantages: Manual could be better. bios options could be more flexible
I bought this board when I upgraded my system, I paid around £30-£40 for it and have never looked back in the year since. The graphics onboard are less than great but if you're not going to play games then the graphics would be plenty good enough, I transfered my 128Mb AGP card from the old board and it works like a dream.
The integrated graphics chip is very low performance. I noticed a little bit of slow down when I tried playing the original ... ...PCI slots, and an AGP slot. The BIOS does have some overclocking options, surprisingly enough. It appears that you can lock both AGP and PCI. Overall, this is a great motherboard for the price. It has onboard audio and video; just add a processor, RAM, hard drive, and case/power supply, and you'll have a cheap, functional computer. The integrated graphics are very slow, get an AGP card if you want to play games. ...
