I am in love with this board. You can't beat the system. 2000MHz front side bus! Most of the other boards on this site had 1600 or 1000MHz. It has been a long time since I have upgraded any part of my system. I put a gig of dual channel A-data ram in it PC3200 (CL 2.5-3-3) and the system acts like it is never really under a load.
