All AM2+ CPUs with up to 140W TDP -> all of them
4 DIMM slots of DDR2 1066
PCIe 2.0 x16 and one PCIe x1, two PCI
6 SATA ports and eSATA
12 USB2 ports
Good enough video card with D-Sub, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort
Gigabit Ethernet
8-Channel High Definition Audio
Firewire
I'd say it does have everything I'll ever need! It's just the crappy ASUS AMI BIOS. If that's what I can expect from ASUS, I'm not buying their motherboards anymore. Hopefully someone figures out that ASUS problem soon.

Hi pftr34a ..I`m thinking similarily to yourself also.Ditch those Bums!! LOL. These are nice Boards when you can get them to work right.. Right now The Score is 0 for 2 for the Asus Boards . After trying The 2`nd Bios Mod. ,with Win.7 64 bit installed, I Started Getting Freeze ups and Blue Screens just like I get with Vista Ultimate @ 32Bit.. at least this Junk is consistent.!! LOL.. I rolled back from the Modded Bios to the Factory "un-touched" 1902 Bios.from within windows Vist,(I have both Os`s installed on different Drives) and the Freezing and blue-screen remained. I then tried to flash the 1805 Bios with the utility that is in the Bios itself called EZ flash or Something like that,and got an error saying"Boot Block in File not Valid"..I`m not certain why yet, but the Bios # 1805 has never been modified,and should have installed without any Problems.I`m going to try with The Afudos utility next and see what happens then.. I`m just curious if you`re getting glitches also?.. I know it`s that Atikmdag Driver that`s at the bottom of all my Glitches.I`haven`t been able to get that ATI Catalyst Crap,that they call software,Working on either of my Boards in 2 years,of effort. Everytime I try to CrossfireX with that software I have nothing but Glitching and My Computer becomes unusable.. I get Rid of the ATI Software,and Gradually my System will stabalize..I feel like I`ve been doing nothing but Beta Testing for AMD/ATI,and ASUS..They`re all going on My Chopping Block, if I can`t get this stuff to work soon. well the AMD processors arent too bad ,but,I`ll buy other brands next time. Oh well,Back to my Daytime,, Nightmare..LOL
