I am really impressed with this board. Installation was easy & overclocking capabilities is outstanding and higly configurable . Comes with Vista drivers.
This board clocks easily up to 1225mhz, 1200mhz proved very stable. Asus Probe II that comes with the package is a great tool for protecting components from high tempratures. The motherboard minimum temp warning can be set from 70° upwards (hom much confidence Asus?), although I never had it above 50° Asus Q-Fan2 allows for up to 4 chassis & CPU fan to run quiet, no more need for front bezel fan controllers. 3 different setting can be aplied to chassis fans & CPU independently.
Only con is PCI Express slots running in x 8 mode when used in SLI cofuguration, but you only have to worry about this when using big gun cards like the 8800GTX.
