Damage Definitions

By TE5LA (newegg.com)

Asus: There is a big difference in "physical" damage and "cosmetic" damage. Physical damage affects the functionality of a product while cosmetic damage does not. The board has only cosmetic damage and barely visible at that.

Another Winner!

By Snaggletooth (newegg.com)

this board let me take and AMD 64x2 4000+ (Brisbane) from 2.1 with 400 to either 2.86 with 917 or 2.73 with 1040. You can do either 275@333 or 260@400 from the bios.

Bios updates allow most AM3 processors. Lots of over clock settings. Solidly stable. I love the utility that lets you change bios pics at boot

SATA ports 4 and 5 only work in RAID
