Bought a brand new one years ago when Windows XP and SATA first came out. After replacing the board twice, all due to it not being able to boot up. I suspect the cause being the capacitors near the CPU. Replacing the board wholesale is far more economical time-wise and effort-wise. One of the best features of this board is the Intel utility that lets you monitor the power supply voltages and the temperatures at the CPU and two zones on the board. One other drawback is it overheats easily if the heat-transfer paste dries up over time and especially if the CPU clock is higher than 2.8 GHz. The AGP slot is also a bit outdated but adequate. The USB connectors to the front panel have grounding issues - plugging in an USB device sometimes shorts out and reboots the computer. However, I'm so used to this board, I still keep two running systems and one test system. The DRAM has been upgraded from 512MB to 2GB and 3GB on the running systems and it flies with Windows XP. Try that with VISTA or even Windows 7. You probably need 6 to 8GB of RAM.Read full review
