i read alot of forums every nite,no tv just reading and always thinking of my next upgrade and from what ive read has been pretty good.ther isnt alot out but ive probubly read 15 or so posts on this mobo and id have to say i would buy it if i was interested in the board.it had surprisingly good quality,overclocked well and buyers were surprised it was as good as it is.i have nothing against biostar,they have worked well in the instances i have used them.some people have a real negative opinion of biostar and maybe ritely so but i think some people just repeat what they read about flames on biostar.im trying to remember what was said about this board and i can only remember it did not turn me off on this board.i remember looking at it and thinking it looked interesting,but personally i believe id order it if i was interested.if its a dud id return it within the first 2 weeks.the 2 things i did not like was the agp transition slot and i thought the price was a little high.as i remember the agp slot didnt work with all the cards biostar said it would work with.they need to lower the price to get it out in more hands and see really how good it is.for 92.00 there are more known brand boards,with a reputation of quality that more people will purchase.they need to give you a real reason for going with this board and if your happy with it you would be more inclined to go biostar again next time.i know id think about other boards too before making my decision to buy this one for 92.00.now for 80.00 id have a hard time not at least giving it a try.then if it works well for me they can make a good profit on my next biostat mobo purchase.its like baiting you to help get them back in the game.at 92.00 most people are gonna go with gigabyte,abit ,asus chaintech,epox,asrock....get what i mean....if you really like it go for it,i honestly think its a pretty good board..................
