Personally I would not recommend a SOYO MOBO. I have tried them in the past and they are far over rated. Asus, Abit, and gigabyte are a few to try.

Just my personal experience: I owned a Soyo Dragon for an AMD processor and I hated it. I had it for like 3 months before I bought a new one. I had more problems than imaginable. I don't know if that board model just had problems (because there was a huge group online that were having a lot of problems with the same board as well) or what. I have a Soltek board and I love it. It's a smaller company that is not as well known, but it's a great board. Also I have build many machines with both Asus and MSI boards and I love MSI. Those are just my 2 cents. I know you wanted to know more about the parts but I would suggest searching the net for some reviews on that board before buying it.

Glad I'm not the only one here!

I had the SOYO Dragon ultra platinum and I am embarrased to say what I paid for it but it was full of problems and I got 0 support from soyo.
