Author: Jake I recently purchased this board with 2gb corsair pc 6400 800mhz memory, amd phenom 9500 quad core chip, and run dual en8600gt asus video. This board is very easy to use and comes with several optimizing programs to over clock with ease and it also features several other handy little options for further expansion later on. I highly recommend this board set up to any one
