This baby its so powerful that i still cant believe it, many claim ddr2 800 mhz clas latency 4 are great but the issue is that im an overclocker, and i saw on this baby what ddr3 really means, i got this motherboard at a really good price at other stores for 99,99, the basics are that this mb supports penryn, im gtetting an e8400, but the only lack is that you need to update the bios, many claim that this can be done via floppy when you get the new proc, but i got a celeron 420 at 1.6ghz to flash the bios via windows xp, with the msi live updater 3 utility, everything went fine and im very happy, if you wanna know how overclokable this baby is, i pushed the 1.6 ghz celeron to 3.2 ghz using 400 fsb x 8 multiplier, and its stable since a week of using, all games are fast and it dosent look like a celeron to me.
cpu celeron 420 1.6 ghz price range 10-40 bucks to flash the bios (waiting for e8400)
