Wanted to upgrade to the newer AMD chips with their on chip graphics and I needed a PCI slot for my audio card. This is a micro-board but I put it in a full size case. Works fine with plenty of SATA plugins, All SATA, Has no IDE plug. Only two memory slots. The video is very good but I don't game either but movies look great. Has USB3, which I think is a bit over rated but helps speed up USB2 flash drives. Plenty of USB plugins available. Newer BIOS where you use your mouse now for selections. Some features I have not used or will never use. ASUS mother board was my second choice with sane chip set but more expensive. 3 year warranty. Paid in the low $50 range here on Ebay. No regrets.
Fair price for used system, all parts internal parts check good, shipping time good. Only cons was poor assembly, lose screws found inside case that fell out of motherboard.

Had an extra CPU (Athlon X2 340) that I needed an inexpensive motherboard for. Rapid shipping (2 day). Dropped in the CPU, 4 gig ram, video card, plugged everything up. Fired it up, installed Linux Mint XFCE off of a USB. A few minutes later it was up and running. Typing this review on the very same computer. Nothing to dislike about this motherboard for my purpose. Works as well as my ASUS and Gigabyte FM2 motherboards.
