I bought one of these motherboards last year when I decided to upgrade to SLI. This motherboard was perfect for me, it is packed with loads of features. I loved it so much that I recently purchased another one when I built my second system for University. As it is is AM2 compatible I have been able to upgrade my computer from a single core processor two a dual core processor without the need to change motherboard. This has been a big saving and saved me some trouble in looking for a new motherboard.
