I have a computer built with this board and it works great.

I had ordered two of those boards. First one I received was broken by Fed- ex... second worked great. Except for it had voltage problems when it came to overclocking. So I got myself and ABIT nf7 -s. Great motherboard... just missing a couple things like secondary lan port. *shrug*

Yes, its worth buying.

It was the top-end MoBo for a few months quite recently too.

The nVidia 5.1 SoundStorm (which is DirectX 8 sound compliant), and its good basing which gives it high speeds make it very good.

And of course, the dual-LAN, SATA/RAID support, Firewire, etc. at that cost, make the board a good buy.
