Will the 975X7AB come out a winner, or will the old adage, "you get what you pay for" prove itself true once again? Read on to find out!" - Drew (and not u) Stevenson

Very good review Drew. I thought you were a slacker.

Nice bundle with the board and I like the fact that it has rounded cables.

Excellent review! Very funny too(Adult Videos?) LOL! I did catch one mis-spelling on the first page though. I kinda scanned through the rest of it, concentrating mostly on a couple of benchmarks and overclocking.

Definitely, if a future BIOS update fixed these issues, I would absolutely recommend this board, it's such a great value.
