prosser13
Advantages: Great value in sales, loads of features, good overclocker, DFI, Crossfire
Disadvantages: Can be buggy. my audio doesn't work, hates value components, no SATAII, complex BIOS

Features
While its not the most feature packed of boards, it has 8 SATA ports (but no SATAII ports), ATi Crossfire, 2 IDE channels and an amazing BIOS.

Graphics
This Depends greatly on your computer! Low Graphics is to be quite honest, crap! But High detail graphics is almost as good as an xbox360's. Just Make Sure you have enough RAM memory! =]
Sound
This is one of the only PC games that pushes sound to the limit! You have the choice from Low, medium, high, and Ultra High Sound performance, I have only tried up to high, and High is amazing to listen to!
