Active chipset cooling solution. Although generic looking, the supplied chipset HSF gets the job done well.
Good stability under both standard and overclocked (146MHz FSB) conditions.
Good layout, save for the slightly close 3300uF capacitors. All expansion slots are capable of accommodating full-length cards, IDE, and floppy headers are placed to minimize cable clutter and maximize airflow to CPU.
Observes AMD "no mount" zone, with support for heatsink/fan units such as the Zalman CNPS5000 and Swiftech MC462-A.
No extraneous OEM features such as AMR slots or integrated audio, as well as a perfect expansion slot configuration of 1/6/0/1 (AGP/PCI/ISA/AMR).
