(More customer reviews)Let me start off by saying what I have not done/tested with this board and can't review on. I have not used the overclocking features, I run the on-board graphics, and I did not set up RAID and I'm not a gamer so I cannot rate those aspects. This machine was set up to house VMs for testing. This one falls under budget boards however is not the cheapest one out there, but it does have a lot of features for the price range and for being microATX. My setup has a 965 Black Edition cpu and 4x2GB OCZ DDR2-800 platinum latency 4-3-3-12 with Windows 7 64bit Enterprise, and 2 SATA II hard drives in a non-RAID configuration and no overclocking. The Windows User Experience rating is 7.4 for the CPU and 7.5 for the RAM. My surprise was with the onboard graphics which I don't remember the Windows rating but I believe it scored higher than my Intel DG45ID, which I didn't expect. However I do not run anything to put the graphics through the test. Easy to install and the I/O plate is even color coded, not that it matters but my more expensive Intel DG45ID just gave me a sticker to place next to the I/O ports (I find this tacky especially for a company as large as Intel). For my purposes, all I needed was a board that can support up to 16GB of DDR2-800, a high quality quad processor, and at least 4 SATA II ports and was reliable. For people looking for more features you will probably have to break the $100 barrier or go full ATX.
