The things I like about this mobo is that I bottomed out the kit I 
bought, but still have plenty of room to grow with it.  The low in of 
the chips is a AMD XP1700 which I got, and it tops out at a XP 2600 
which to me, for a desktop PC, is plenty of growing room.  Plus it 
supports PC1600, PC2100, and PC2700 RAM so there is lots of room for 
RAM.  Has up to ATA 133 support, 233 FSB, lots of overclocking if you 
into that, the sound chip on board is supported out fo the box and 
sounds awesome,  as you can see I am very happy with my purcase, 
especially since I got motherboard, case, all fans, and chip for $195 
US.
