ASRock P43 Pro/USB3
$96.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:Decent choice for those seeking USB 3.0 support at a low price point. Automatic boot failure safeguard works well, saves you from headaches if you configure the BIOS improperly. Overclocking options in the BIOS are numerous and helpful.
The Cons:Overclocking performance is severely limited. Limited RAM support--double check your voltages before buying. No sense getting this over similarly priced Sandy Bridge Intel motherboards.
