Bought this board to replace the Asus P5N32-eSLI Plus board that wldnt overclock my processor at all.
Really impressed so far as the board has lived up to all the hype that surrounds it on the internet.
Packaging:
This board was packed a liuttle differently to any motherboard that i have bought in the past. Instead of an anti-static bag it came in plastic mould that seated the board very well and prevented any damage occuring during transit. The board also had a multitude of accesories with it. This included the manual, quick start guide, sli bridge connector, driveers disk, sata floppy disk, black sata cables and black ide cables.

As stated in the specification it's a socket 939 with 1 PCI Express x16, 2 PCI Express x1, 3 32-bit/33MHz, 4 184pin DIMMs or PC3200 memory, 4 USB 2.0 ports, gigabit Lan port, 1 firewire port and a separate sound card.
Don't be fooled by some reviews stating this has ATA - 150 support only, it actually supports Sata II on 4 channels which is ATA-150 compatible, the other 2 ports are ATA-133.
The motherboard uses Nforce Ultra chipset with a 6-channel audio via nForce4 integrated audio and ALC658 codec PCIE sound card ...
