World Eater is the pope Catholic?
You betcha, this mother board is teh win! I can’t believe the amount of goodies that came in the box with this mobo. It was pricey ($279 CAN) but well well worth it. I love the dual BIOS as well.

I put this together last August and I’ve had no problems. It’s much better than my last computer (P3 800MGhz). I just got the sound card for Christmas. When I put it in I cleaned out the dust that accumulated and my temp for the CPU went down about 4C. I don’t like to overclock so everything is running at rated speed.
