It works fine except that I don't have speakers attached, so I cannot say w/certainty about audio.

Added:
  • a Gigabyte 9800GT video card w/dual monitors.
  • Intel Core i7 920
  • 6GB DDR3
  • DVD Burner GH22NS30 (LG SuperMulti)

Expensive, but works fine for pretty much everything I've tried.

Works great, only problem is that is has some issues with hibernation and sleep, one of them causes the fans to go on full blast instead of being PWM-controlled, I don't remember which because it was a long time ago.

Also you can't use many of the extra features provided by this mobo, because they require proprietary Windows software.

I am using it with an Intel Core i7 620 (2.66GHz) and 6GB of RAM.
