first is important to say the whole kit: asus p5b-vm, 2 Gb dual channel pc6400 corsair, core 2 duo E6600 2.4 Ghz 4 Mb cache L2, windows vista ultimate. it runs like a windows 95 in the same machine (ridicously fast). photoshop CS3 takes a mere 2, 32 seconds to open (first time in the day, after this is faster). the video on board works like a grafic card.. most of the new games runs with no problems. two things that i bother.. first, there's NO INFORMATION on the manual or the page about how to put the memory to get the dual channel (saw it on a forum in other site) and the board is kind of hot.. i use a thermaltake mambo series as a case, with a rear fan and the board is always 45 - 50°C.. besides it, excelent board for the price

Good matx board, though not what I expected for overclocking. Has a few OC'ing features but very limited ones.
If you're not planning to use it for gaming go ahead, it's a fine choice.

I never work with asus from the factory, i must to say that the cables and conectors made extremly easy all the procces... this a medium motherboard but it's very very good.. i mean: it's asus for me.

Not the cheapest Board you can get with a 965 chipset, but a good performer for a fair price.
