I believe he was asking the forum what we thought of that motherboard. I gave him my opinion, just like you gave yours, so I don't really think that my post was any more "pointless" than yours. You gave him your opinion and I gave him mine. I'm sorry you're having a bad day but lets not start attacking users on the forum just because you don't like the way they stated their opinion.
I'm here to learn more about computer hardware and help when I can, I've made mistakes buying motherboards and looking at that specs that that motherboard has, I can see that it includes many features I wish I had looked for when buying mine (e.g. RAID support). I think it was a nice find for the price... I was considering buying it myself. Ease off.
I was not being angry. And there is nothing wrong with giving your opinion, that is what he wanted. But #1, "dude" is not the correct choice of words here, and "i'm liking it" and "nice find" did not sound like opinions to me. I'm sorry if you think that I am attacking you, because I am not. I just thought that you were randomly saying things, and you misinterpreted my response as personal flaming. So this is just a misunderstanding. Got it? Good. Let's move on.
There are a couple things to note on this motherboard:
1. The wacky heatsink may inhibit some additions that you might want to put on
2. There is no firewire support
3. There is only one PATA connection.
4. Be careful with the RAM voltages
I would have gotten this motherboard, except for reasons 2 and 3, which prompted me to get the
Gigabyte motherboard. But if those things are no problem to you, then it is a good choice.
