Socket Communications MATX (694TAS) Motherboard

Pros: Well made, excellent customer support via e-mail
Cons: Readme texts on the installation CD diffcult to read

I purchased this product with the idea of building a new computer with slightly out of date components so I could save some money. I'm really glad I chose this board. The company does respond with helpful e-mail, and the instructions are pretty straightforward. There were no compatibility problems at all (see list below), and the machine is great for everything from gaming (Myst, MOHAA, CAD, etc.) to streaming video and burning DVD's. Also, this board is very overclock-friendly. It even has an ISA slot for those needing to accomodate legacy stuff! My next machine will be built on a Machspeed board!
