Advantages: Ready for future technologies

...excellent seeing as though I didn't want to upgrade my memory right away. Up to DDR 400 and DDR II 667 is supported in Dual-Channel, meaning that two modules of the same ram can be installed at the same time. For instance, you could have 2 x 512mb DDR 400, or 2 x 1gb DDR II 667. - AGP + PCI + PCI-E - Another nifty feature of this motherboard is the amount of interfaces it supports.

After some enquiries, including on the Oblivion forums, I came across the GeForce 7600GS. This seems to be one of the best card available from nVIDIA with AGP support, whilst other's were available from ATI I was unfamiliar with them, and the ones that did seem better were also more expensive, often considerably more expensive than their PCI-E counterparts...
