Update to my Earlier Review
- Pros: Solid components, has all of the options you'd expect from a $300.00 board. Read my Cons if you only have a Windows XP SP1 Disk and plan on running in Raid configuration.
- Cons: Serious Issues Installing Windows XP SP1 Disks in a Raid setup, you have to switch to single-core "Slow" mode to avoid BSOD if you use the original F3 BIOS.
Revisions Later than the F3 BIOS will BSOD with a raid setup no matter how you configure the BIOS unless you have a XP SP2 Disk or later.
Flashing the BIOS will wipe your installed raid set if you allow it to boot without reconfiguring the BIOS as raid. I would advise unplugging your raid if you plan on flashing the BIOS just in case you miss the BIOS prompt.
Slow BIOS boot times, it takes about 15-20 seconds to get the loading Windows screen.
About 50% of the time when I turn the machine on it will power up and then power off again and then power up and boot up normally. Sometimes it will do it more than once, but it has always booted up. I've been experiencing this off and on since I updated the BIOS and then had to revert back to the old Version.
- Other Thoughts: The BSODs I experienced while surfing the web that I noted in my earlier review were caused by faulty Creative Drivers not the board so short of the BIOS issues I've experienced once the machine boots up it screams.

GREAT BOARD SO FAR
- Pros: Easy To Install, Lots Of Options, Great Power Saving Features, OC looks to be simple.
- Cons: I do not like the placement of the SATA ports with Antec 1200. Wish it was more friendly with PC3 12800 ram.
- Other Thoughts: WILL write another review in a couple months after more use and OC.

Fantastic Motherboard
- Pros: ANother great motherboard from GigaByte. I installed the Core I7-920 2.66 GHz CPU with OCZ memory and a Nocture CHS and over clocked this bad boy at 4 GHz and it's stable. Corsair 950 Watt PSU and a BFG GTX285 OC video card
- Cons: None so far.
