We've poked and we prodded this board as thoroughly as we could. Soyo really have outdone themselves with this motherboard. This entire bundle has just about everything but the kitchen sink! Three DDR slots allow for more memory expansion capability than many of the competition. The onboard Promise controller performs like a champ and is definitely my preferred chipset over the HighPoint series controllers competitors use. The onboard audio provides ample audio quality and definitely shatters the traditional onboard audio stinks idea.
