Bought this yesterday to go with an E2160 cpu, and 8800 gts graphics card. Wasnt the easiest to set up, My IDE cables wouldnt fit around the graphics card once installed, and IDE needs drivers before you can do anything, and i dont own a floppy drive!! So i bought a SATAII HDD and away we went... Overclocked straight up to 2.6 ghz on stock volts... stable as a rock so far.. left on stress test for 8 hours last night. Uguru is mint for the noob O'Cer like myself. Great cheap alternative of the AB9 Pro. I would reccomend to anyone with a dual core chip.

Rock solid and good overclocker.Could have been 5 stars but the layout is terrible.With a bit of thought you would not have the spagetti junction of cables a bottom of board.With SATA,IDE and case connectors all in one area

I like (Y)

This is a fairly strange motherboard, but I've had no trouble from it.

Advantages:
* Lots of USB ports
* Lots of SATA ports

Disadvantages:
* Only one IDE port
* The JMicron SATA controller has terrible Linux compatibility

Ok so this board has a strange layout, but dont let that put you off!
I have one of these and am using both PCI slots (tv card and sound card) an had no problems routing cables. just make sure if you are using eide drives, get a long cable!!!
