Pros: Lot's of support for different AMD processors. (I got the Semptron LE 2.1GHz now) Very good set of overclocking options. Supports up to 4Gb DDR2 ram. (More than enough for WinXp 32bit or Linux 32bit)
Cons: There is only 2 SATA slots! (Up to 1 Hard Drive only if you have SATA DVD drive) The Nvidia 7025 GPU DOESN'T have hardware acceleration of H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 video playback! No DVI output. (No HDMI and HDCP!)

Summary: You get what you pay for. This board is very good only for light office work, but if you want more you have to buy a dedicated video card. It has a decent (simple) audio chip too. If you need to connect more hard drives you have to get an additional PCI SATA controller; which is no big deal really. I had trouble finding the SATA drivers in order to slipstream them into the WinXP installation. I had to extract them from the nForce chipset installation .exe file. Other than that it's a good board with decent support for Linux
Summary: Its a gr8 board. but may let you down if you want to connect more than 1 pci as it ony has one slot. 4gb max ram capacity. i m using AMD Phenom2 x2 Processor 3.1 Ghz.
