There are 7 reviews here. Note that as some of the reviewers
observed, Asus MicroATX boards do not always have "fully
featured" BIOS. Some of the BIOS are pretty Plain Jane.
The best thing to do, is go to support.asus.com.tw, and
download the manual, before you buy the product. Examine
the BIOS settings, to see if you can change the memory
timings or processor/memory clock rates. By examining the
manual before you buy, there are fewer ugly surprises.

Thanks Paul...
yep the first thing I do when looking at building is get the manual, if
possible.. Will check out the link. After looking here some more I found
something I hadn't thought of. I was also looking at the ATI 850xt and
didn't think about how wide it might be.. Just keep moving the target on
me..
