*Very* nice mobo, with full support for hardware sensors such as temperature and fan speed. Great user manual, impressive expansion capability, and an easy installation overall. Great for DIY'ers who want to take the plunge into 64 bit.

This is the second Asus mobo I've purchased, and at least in my experience, they are high quality products and worth considering

I third this review. MB works great from the install. No mods to the kernel required.
