I built a machine on that board with an Athlon 64 3200+. It's a very solid board, with easy setup and installation. It doesn't have a lot of overclocking prowess... but it's also a midrange board, so that's typical.

I haven't had any problems with that motherboard so far, and it's been in the machine... 10 months or so at this point.

after reading a shit load of articles about this board , i`m not really anticpating any problems . the asus board was another one i looked at but the msi was on sale for under a 100. so that was the seller on that ,i`m really trying to keep prices low , only the cpu and ram over the 100 dollar mark and even then 239 for the 3700+ was reasonable for up here. and ram is @ 150 for matched 512`s. so all in all i should have a fairly speedy little pc when done. by the by mooseman spent acouple summers in old orchard beach, nice place. its still going to be a couple of more weeks before i can get the thing plugged in , and up and running . anybody else with a similar setup please feel free to comment or just post your specs . thanks
