There's a few "gotchas" you need to be aware of. 1) Multiple memory sticks must be exactly the same kind. This means if you later decide to upgrade the memory and can't find the old kind you will be spending lots of $; 2) On-board sound has been reported to be noisy 3) ASRock's market niche is in low cost systems. You'd probably do much better paying and extra $25 and sticking to ASUS, Abit or Giga-byte. I see the attractiveness of having both SGP and PCI-E slots, but the negatives for this particular board seem to be more important. You might end up spending a big $ amount for memory in the future unless you buy it all now. IMHO, this board is a gimmick that no other manufacturer is duplicating.
