I purchased this mobo on 10/20/07. It is already a 'dated' device having a FSB speed of 533MHz. I find nothing wrong with it. I am using an Intel Celeron D (D-347 CiderMill) CPU, running at 3.06 Gig.
The only problem with this mobo, cpu is that the CoolMax CR-450B powersupply doesn't shut off well and has to have it's on-off switch switched off to completely power down the mouse and usb hub. By not powering down, Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 was getting frustrated on booting. It's not a big deal to me to slip a switch, so I'm keeping it. This mobo is running an nVidia GeForce 5600 card.
