		the 2 dimm slots will limit you somewhat, especially if you want to get a gig or more of ram. youll have to stick with 512 or higher sticks which can be pricey. never heard of that mobo company but with the cpu you got id say it was a deal.

		Not bad at all, the chip is worth about about $50 on it's own. And the board will get you by for now... ~Krelian

Iwill isn't the best board maker, but if it works, who cares. It wasn't expensive.
