Summary: Best affordable motherboard!!!
Review: This motherboard is by far the best I have come across in the mid-range category, I spent hours upon hours looking at different motherboards and most were so expensive but for only a few better things than this, I mean this motherboard is socket 478 (supports pentium 4/ celeron), 533/400 mhz processor up to 3.06 or more, Hyper-threading support, can hold 4 memory modules (up to 4gb) of up to PC3200 (400mhz) IT HAS 7 PCI slots, the most I have seen on any mainboard, AGP8X, 2 SATA (the fastest hard drive speeds), 3 IDE controllers (for storage devices), 1 floppy controller, 6 USB ports, 3 firewire ports, integrated LAN, integrated 5.1 audio (with digital output capability), and an easy to setup BIOS. This is the best motherboard for the money I absolutely reccomend it to anyone saving money, but still wanting to upgrade later on.
