Nice looking board. too many e-sata's for the average user, but, the sideways mounted sata's make for easier cable management. Bus speeds look good. +1 on liking the Gigabyte boards. Upon install, go to their website and download the latest drivers, will help immensely with the rest of the install.
Love Gigabyte MB's. It does accept the Phenom II. Can say how well this board performs no.
