It's not that great. It's an older chipset. It also doesn't have the features of many of the "standard" boards out there right now, such as USB 3/SATA III ports and 8x/8x Crossfire. It does have a second PCIe 2.0 slot, but since it operates at only 4x, it's essentially worthless.

The board I linked to is the newest chipset, and will support the upcoming six core CPUs without having to update the BIOS.
