Nice board! I ordered this board to use with an AMD Phenom II X4 940 CPU which i also ordered from Amazon.com. Installation was easy. I like it. This is good product, I use 1 month very like it. But this item not build-in HDMI. it still is a great motherboard.

awesome for budget rigs no problems with the delivery, arrived very fast. As for the motherboard itself, great product.

Should use more than 4gbs of ram when using Win 7. Really need 6 or 8. Good price. Works great. Easy to install. I will absolutely buy ASUS again in the future, but will just do my homework better and get exactly what I need.
