What's Hot

Easy set up, 1066MHz front-side bus, dual BIOS, stable, USB bluetooth

What's Not

Interference with sound during mouse movement

The Final Word

Rock solid performance, pain-free installation and abundant connectivity options make this board a sweet platform for an Intel Pentium Extreme Edition CPU. We liked the fact that Gigabyte bundles a Bluetooth adapter with this board, too
