good or bad mobo

nora.e · May 26, 2008

I'm looking at getting a budget mobo to go with some of my existing stuff. I've got an older Pentium 4EE, 2 gig Corsair ddr2 800, 320 gig SATA hdd, and a Pilat 9600gt. In the future I'd like to replace the Pentium with a Core 2. I like the smaller micro ATX boards as apose to the full ATX. Asus has this board listed as an "All-in-one Solution for Digital Office". Is their any reason why it would suck as an inexpensive gaming board based on what else I have to go with it? They are priced at around $120, and is within my budget.

I see no reason this would be a bad solution for you, as long as you are satisfied with the features it offers. What are user reviews like for the board?
