I think I just bought one of those for a new server at my office. I'll have to look at the box tomorrow to be sure.

Board seems fine, nothing to complain about. Of course, it went in a CLI-only Linux mail server, so I don't really care about features, just stability. My only gripe is with Via: there are no SATA drivers for the 2.6 series of kernels and its a PITA to upgrade said kernel. But obviously, that won't affect Windows.

i just got one of those for a rigs I built for someone. it was a easy setup/install.

Thanks guys . Any other suggestions in my price range ? ~$60

thats one of the best for the price range(at least when it comes to Via), plsu the extra bonus is there is a $10 rebate as well. you may wanna look into some Nforce2 boards

Here's a review of it.........or maybe it's the higher end version of it. Same chipset.
