Pros:
*DDR-3 and DDR-2 ram slot's
*8 sata plug's
*fast and reliable
*Suports Intel core 2 and Quad core proceccer's

Cons:
*There is only 1 PCI-E Slot
*No fire wire
*No wireless
The board is good and reliable and fast,Its good for games and music listing"digtal sound card/OPTICAL" and its a plus with the DDR-3 and DDR-2, there is one down side, it only has 1 PCI-E. There is plenty of sata plugs on the board/MULTI HARD DRIVES.

Over all it is a good mother board for the price and it is worth buying.

 It was a nice motherboard in its day, but unfortunately (or should I say fortunately) the P35 chipset has been succeeded by the P45.

And yes, I realise that this review is from an old issue. :)

 Still a nice choice though if you don't want/need PCI-E 2, and the reviews of the P45 demonstrate very little (if any) performance difference between the P45 and P35 chipsets. Can be bought for under $110 at some online retailers too...bear in mind that these and the P45 will be superseded shortly with the release of the i7 CPU.

AMD’s next generation of CPUs brings 45nm technology and higher clock speeds - but is that enough to compete with Intel’s latest and greatest?

This motherboard is a promising appetiser – although the real meal is yet to come.
