this is one of the easiest to install boards i have ever owned that driver disc installs all in one go upon insert
>> ASUS never more
I bought a HP Pavillion M7750n Media PC refurb last year and as soon as the warranty ran out the stock mobo ASUS A8M2N LA started to die I waited several months before I decided to fix the computer but when I did I wanted the same one that came with the computer so When I got a replacement mobo from China it was also DOA with simuliar symptoms the original had Come to find out with a little searching online it seems that this ASUS mobo has had alot of complaints Needless to say that was 75 waisted and I was not about to spend another 50 to send it back
After being frustrated I decided to do alot of mobo investigating online and came upon this jewel It had everything I needed including an HDMI port digital optical output excellent onboard video and audio and a host of other things The selling factor was that there were no bad reviews for this board So I decided to give it a try I m not the most computer tech savy person in the world but this board was sooo easy to install Though I had to make a few minor adjustments so that everything would connect
The ONLY thing that I didn t like was the CPU fan connection normally this connection is north of the CPU socket but on this board it was southwest Therefore I had to turn the heatsink and fan clamp at the reverse end of the socket Since I was using the same HP case I had to cut and splice the power switch power LED and HDD LED wires since HP uses one plug for this
One other thing when using this mobo in a mid tower space will be a premium if you are using s large heatsink and fan you might run into some difficulty with in accessing your memory slots My advice is to install these first I tried to get away with installing the PC4200 DDR2 533MHz memory that originally came with the system but the board wasn t buying it so good thing when I ordered the board I got 2 gigs of PNY PC6400 DDR2 800MHz at a great price of 45 also from AMAZON Coupled that with my stock Athlon 64 x2 5000 it runs better than new For the price and performance you won t find a better board

>> Nice board for those interested
This is the first Gigabyte board I ve ever bought I actually wanted one of the newer Gigabyte MB s but am actually glad that I made the mistake of buying this one Christmas Rush I bought a couple of AMD AM3 Sempron 140 s from another site to use for this board I didn t know anything about opening the second core on the AMD AM3 Sempron 140 processor but with a little messing around of the BIOS I succeeded in figuring it out Now the processor reads as an Athlon tm iix2 4400e I bought one board for my son and one for myself My son s board is clocked to 3 53 GHz and is stable Mine is clocked to 3 28 GHz stable The board comes with a nice built in ATI Radeon 4200 graphic but I decided to install a graphic card which is the Diamond 4650PE1G ATI Radeon HD 4650 PCIE 1GB GDDR2 Dual DVI Video Card They seem to work pretty darn well together My son loves the graphics As I am not a gamer I have plans to use mine to simply watch movies I bought both the motherboards and graphic cards here at Amazon as they provided free delivery to Alaska Thank you Amazon
