Do you like to overclock? This is the best overclocking motherboard for Pentium 4. To be able to fix PCI/AGP frequency, when increasing just the CPU frequency is great. Would you like a cool looking motherboard for your glass-sided, ice-neon lighted system? This blue colored board crowned with a gold colored chipset fan is for you. Would you like to buy a rock stable system with optimal performance? Everything worked so smooth, not even a glitch. You want the works on features, don't think too much. Six USB 2.0 ports, three Firewire ports, 5.1 Sound with optical sound output, 10/100 LAN connection were great. They just could do better with the ergonomics and hardware installation. But it is not easy to squeeze those features on a given PCB space and we installed the motherboard not too many times.

If you like a motherboard with legacy ports, no exaggerated features, and great stability, this is definitely the board for you. "I liked it a lot".
