Is this mobo any good? It has pci-e and has the ATI XPRESS 200 Chipset. Has this been posted somewhere else?

Yea thats the new ATi based chipset. Peformance wise its quite good. Its equal to any of the other mobos. However it has serious perherpial and USB issues. I'd avoid it and go for more repituable chipsets like Nforce4 and Via

Just noticed its micro-ATX. I guess we won't see what this chipset can really do till some ATX mobo's come out.

Edit: Its also selling and in stock here: http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=110473
