aopen actually isn't known for top quality stuff. of course that motherboard would be functional and definatly a step above albatron and current MSI products.

Get an Asus P4P800e mobo for $99 , much better then the board you listed. Just look at the top threads stickeyed . Their at the top for a reason.
