Is this a good motherboard?

Hello,

 

I do not know alot about computers, so I just want to ask the members here of their opinion.

 

I have already bought the thing so I want to know if it is a mistake or not.

 

It is a Intel Media Series 'Dragontail Peak'.

 

Here is the specs:

 

Intel P35, LGA775, FSB1333, 4xDual DDR2 800, 1xPCI-x16, 3xPCIx1, 3xPCI, 5xSATA(Raid 0,1,5,10), 1xeSATA, 1xATA133, Gbe Lan, 8ch-Sound, Max

12xUSB, 2xIEEE1394, ATX (Viiv)

 

I payed aproximately $147.00 for it (According to current exchange rate.).

 

Basically, I want to know if it is a good motherboard at this current time or not.

 

I could have gotten a more expensive motherboard; but this was what I had bugeted for.

I used to have Intel motherboards before and I find them very solid and stable (as all Intel stuff) but not very overclockable as they don't provide many options for custom settings (eg raising FSB, voltages etc) in motherboard BIOS.

Thanks for the info.

 

I wanted to get a ASUS motherboard; but my supplier were out of stock.

 

I am not going to overclock the board at all.

If you don't intend to overclock Intel motherboards are very good choice.
