Motherboard what makes it good?

[ranger1]

I just recently took a punt and purcahsed a J&W extreme 790gx mother board for my hack game machine and really i cant fault it. yes its not ASUS but I could get almost every tech i wanted for half price - now thats what i call value for money.. I have always purchased ASUS and Gb in past so i though why not.

yes its only ddr2!

Specs below:

AMD 790GX board works with AMD SocketAM2+ CPUs and DDR2 memory
3x PCI-E x16, 2x PCI slots, PCI-E 2.0 and Crossfire support
1x IDE, 6x SATA300 RAID, Gigabit LAN, HD Audio, HDMI, DVI and VGA video
Built in Radeon HD 3300 Graphics, DirectX 10 Ready, with 128MB DDR3 side-port memory onboard

Cool. Looks like a knock of another board though... Like an MSI or something. I dont think this is available in the state though. For $100 USD, you should be able to get a decent mobo anyway.
