Pros: After updating bios to P10 and loading optimized defaults in the bios the re-installed Vista x 64 this board runs very stable. The reviews at Toms stated that all of these boards were in pretty bad shape bios wise kinda like the i875 chipset the first 800mhz FSB. But by no means is this board's bios done yet. It ships with a QVL DDR3 list I bought Patriot PVT36G1600ELK 6Gigs not on the list but works.

Cons: Won't boot from Sata DVDrw connected to the raid controller if raid is on. Had to put an IDE drive in to load Vista. Didn't check the SAS controller in IDE mode. It wouldn't be fare to trash this board yet because its a big jump in technology and you just got to give Foxconn time to fine tune the bios for the higher speeds. I'll bet they're all still tuning big time.

Overall Review: In Vista x64 the perfomance is 5.9 across the board Antec True power quattro 1000 watt, VisionTek 4870 512MB Patriot 3x2Gig and a pair of 500 GB Seagate Sata raid 0.
