Great for vPro

vPro works perfectly after you provision the AMT from BIOS.
I am using VNC Plus trial on the PC where I work and the VNC server on the computer with this MotherBoard (the vPro) Just make sure you provision the system with a static IP address !!!!

Has AMT 6.0 !!!! :) - that means KVM and S0L/IDE-R (Serial over Lan / IDE redirection) which are fantastic for the Help Desk technicians !
It is fast and reliable.
Works great with this memory
Kingston 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 13 Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3K2/2GR

The motherboard does NOT have a graphic chipset so you must use a Clarkdale CPU that has the video on the CPU as the Intel Core i5-650 Clarkdale or an external video card.
ATTENTION: If you use an external video card you can't use the KVM capabilities of the vPro technology !!! (a lot of people are making this mistake)

For KVM to work you MUST have one of these CPUs from Intel i5 : 650, 660, 670, 680 - a little expensive but if you want to remotely control the PC from anywhere in the world without having an OS (Operating system) then you need these CPUs.
I can see the BIOS over remote !!! and change the settings !!! :)

KVM = Keyboard, Video, Mouse

Doesn't have a HDMI dedicated port but with a dongle (that is not included with the MB) from Disply port to HDMI the issue is resolved. This display port supports audio and video as well so using the dongle worked for me :)

MB comes with ESET security software for 1 YEAR ! :)
All the drivers are on the CD but I recommend to update all the drivers ASAP as Intel released new drivers already in April and May 2010 for all the components.
Also update your BIOS to version 033 as it's addressing a lot of bugs.
Overall, the system is uber stabil and extremely silent (because there is no video card fan + the Intel stock fan + ccooler are almost dead silent + I use an SSD)

Two bad in a row

None

This is the second board of the same model that has arrived DOA. Intel support cannot even begin to diagnose it because there are no beeps and only two pointless LEDs. Same CPU, RAM and power work elsewhere.
