Prologue - By now I'm sure that you have seen quite a few Socket A motherboard reviews on various hardware sites. I can think of at least 10 boards by various manufacturers off the top of my head. Between all those boards and new ones coming out what seems like once every few months, it is easy for a few to get lost in the cracks. I have seen very few reviews on this board out there, so I took it upon myself to make sure this one didn't get lost in the shuffle. This is actually one of the very first boards that was ready for the Duron / Thunderbird launch a few months ago. 

First off I have to say that this is honestly the most stable motherboard that I have ever tested or used. I know that's saying a lot, but it truly does stand out in terms of stability. The board that I tested had 1 AGP, 6 PCI slots and a CNR slot. I have yet to find a use for the CNR as I know very few people that have actually taken advantage of it. Ok make that I don't know anyone that has ever used a CNR slot but I'm sure some people do. The layout of the board is very good. The power connector at the top of the board by the DIMM slots was a good choice. Keeping all the wires from the power supply up towards the top of the board and the case is a lot nicer than having them hang down in front of everything. The first obvious difference on this board is the very useful D-LED diagnostic lights mounted between the serial/parallel ports and the game/sound ports, which could be used very easily to troubleshoot problems during boot. A sticker is included as a quick reference to designate the sequence of lights.
