Pros: ... good question, IDK yet ...
Cons: Bought this board, due to it's features and since I have had at least 4 other Asus Mobos with good results. Installed it went to boot up ... nothing ... after 45 or more of checking everything I eventually pulled the CPU (new AMD quad core 3.0 ghz) and found 2 pins bent .... now understand I have installed at least 20 cpus since I started messing with computers back in oh, about 84. I have never messed one up installing it! But, well "stuff" happens, so I went to re-install my old CPU (luckily compatible with the new mobo also) ... didn't get far, pulled the CPU off again, and found the same 2 pins bent! There is something wrong with the CPU socket! Now I had both a new mobo and a new cpu (that the new mobo messed up) to RMA. Newegg was very good about sending RMA approval, I sent thewm back 5 days ago, and haven't got notification they were recvd yet ... wish me luck! I won't "down the CPU or Newegg ... because it happens" ... shrug
Other Thoughts: Never had this happen before, I'm usually happy with my mobos (I have stuck with Epox, Abit, or Asus every time so far ...)
