if you are on a tight budget and dont run many games you probably wont notice the few percent. you may notice the difference between "can afford pc" and "can not afford pc" though

At least your an honest Reviewer Wizzard, by that I mean they didn't give you any extra money or anything like that to make there board seem better.

I always have this suspension that reviewers are given an extra bit of cash to be... a little more lenient.

Great job Wizzard, very much apprciated.

dosen;t seem bad to me for 70 bucks, i mean it like a frame or 2 away from the other motherboards on the charts and can be used for quad processing as well. a few people on newegg are using this board and phemons too.
