Advantages: Nothing went wrong Disadvantages: Basic features
...I bought this motherboard as part of my first custom build PC, nice upgrade from my P166. The first thing i noticed was that it's blue (i like blue... sounds sad, but hey i was a n00b)
I found wiring the board to the chassis very easy, the manual was very informative and the only problem on that front i had was wiring the front USB's.
The bundle was good, included all the normal features like anti-virus software, motherboard tuning uitilites etc.
The reason for selling this board was that it could not keep up with modern FSB and forced me to sell. Though after about 2 years fathful service i kept it and upgraded the rest of my system.
So basically, if you are going to by a motherboard on ebay, i would seriously consider this. If running an old AMD 2000+ Chip....

The new range of winchester chips are outstanding and continue to lead the way in 64bit computer while Intel drag their heels trying to comply with AMD's specs for 64bit processing (simply because microsoft and everyone else aredesigning their 64bit software to AMD's architecture).
I puchased the AMD 3000+ Winchester for socket 939 along with a GigabyteGA-K8NF-9 motherboard from GladiatorComputers. The processor retails at £109incVAT along with the motherboard retailing at £79.99. And because the board had PCI-Express on it I also got a 6600GT from Gigabyte that retails at £149.95
The processor itself is retail boxed so it comes with a full 3 years AMD warranty and an approved AMD heatsink. It normally used to be that AMD produced pretty poor heatsinks but there are fantasic, great cooling (as you...

...This is the first time that I have built my own pc but second attempt I found it easy to install ,the instruction manual that comes with the motherboard was very easy to read I used a AMD 2500 XP processer and 512 ddr 333 and Geforce 4 MX440 graphics card which I did have a problem installing the driver as every time i installed it it would crash the computer but after many attepts i found there is a windows xp update for the driver and since installing that i have had no problems at all.
If you want to build yourself a decent machine but dont want to spend to much on it then this is the board for you...

My Previous processors have all been Intel, with exception to an AMD 1800+ that was used as a home server.
The reason for replacing my P4 HT 3Ghz was due to the motherboard systematically failing when the USB devices are connected.
