superior design
Strengths: very affordable
Weakness: none
i think it is as good as the Asus motherboard. So far, it is performing like a charm. I am using a amd dual core 3800 on this baby. It is working great so i have no complains.

Strengths: 8 SATA ports, SLI, DualBIOS, 800 Mb/s Firewire
Weakness: Dual Power Board interferes with large fans (Zalman)
This board has great functionality. Have not run into any limitations so far except the above mentioned weakness. Dual Power Board next to the CPU socket does not allow to use oversized CPU fans. I'm not using the Dual power board, but have not run into any problems yet. I am consider cutting off 2 fins on my Zalman CPU fan to accommodate DPS board.

Strengths: SLI
Weakness: None.
SATA II, PCI Express SLI, overclocking software and redundant bioses that keep the most ham-fisted tweeker from making a fool himself... Great documentation, in-the-box wireless networking, more connections than a person could plan for...

Solid board, needs some tweaks
Strengths: reliable, stable power
Weakness: chipset fan (loud) and positioning

I haven't used it's SLI functionality yet, but running it with just one card (geforce 6600GT) and a "budget" chip (AMD 3000+) it's done very well. My only complaints are about the cooler on the chipset. First of all the fan is much louder then I would like it to be. Somehow the fan on the powercontroller isn't...

Rock Solid
Strengths: Very stable, SLI capability, lots of USB ports, practically all cables included.
Weakness: Only 2 PCI slots, not enough explanation for the function of "Dual Power System"(DPS), loud fan on this DPS module.
This board is great! It's been overclocked and stable as a rock, not as expensive as other boards and has included wireless card. It comes with 8 SATA cables, and mutiple cables to convert to SATA power supply as needed. All parts are high quality and worked perfectly right out of the box.
