Its good, see the thread further down the page.

It compares well to those chipsets, it lets you clock the memory and cpu seperately and its good on price

Reason being its one of the best overclockable mobos out there thats rock solid and only cost 75 quid.

Many have the 6300 running 500 FSB with this mobo offering 3.5ghz performance.

The reason the DS3 is mentioned so much is that its a fantastic mobo at a fantastic price.

It has good support and F9 bios is out improving clocking further.
