Hi all

thinking of building a system using a maxiums formula board
but been reading horror stories relating to memory, cpu
swlection, nortbridge overheating, network failures, vista 64
bit installs.

Anybody who has the board have any input......should i buy?
TIA
Joe

Depends what you want. I have vista 64 running on it just fine. If you have
an external hard drive with esata connection, you might like to know that
there is no esata connection on the motherboard (you could of course buy a
bracket and connect it to a spare internal sata connection). On the other
hand it has a PCI express sound card included. If you read the Asus maximus
formula forum, you will see a lot of horror stories, but you will on every
motherboard specific site. For me it runs stable and cool, but I have
nothing overclocked.
