Memory by Nick
Does this board require memory to be installed in pairs? ie, If I want 2Gb, do I need 2x1Gb sticks, or will a single 2Gb work?
install in pairs is best
Compatability by Lee Miskimmin
Hi,
It Looks like my current motherboard Gigabyte GA-M55PLUS S3G have blown. Will this motherboard be compatable as a replacement?
Looks ok.. AM2, DDR2 and the basics match..
Great board - needs more BIOS controls by Paul Smith
Bought this to set up a Linux MythTV media centre PC and needed to use spare AMD 64-bit dual core 3800 chip.
All aspects of this motherboard works out the box in Linux (Kubuntu), including the onboard LAN and audio.
The only issue I have with it is that the BIOS is a bit short on options.

GFX card compatability problems!!! by Leon
Is this Motherboard compatible with a GFX-card I've had my eye on? >>>>>>>> "http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/PCI-E/nVIDIA+GeForce+8+Series/nVidia+GeForce+8600GT+1024MB+DDR2+PCI-E+?productId=29836" <<<<<<<<<<<<<<. Thanks.
Yep
Excellent board - excelent value for money! by The Big Show
I bought one of these to replace my previous Via-rubbish board.
This is an excellent board for those who are seeking reliabilty, overclockability, quietness and good if not high-end gaming performance. Totally stable, very quick, easily overclockable, and very quiet with the excellent fan management features and a passive chipset heatsink.
Only minor issue is that there's only one chassis fan header - but this is easily solved with a 2-in-1 Y-splitter cable available from many outlets. My board runs 2 x 120mm fans from the one header with no problems and in near-silence with quiet fan technology enabled
