Good Points

Good value for the money.
Runs Windows 98 OK, and also strategy games of a moderate level.
Good manual, which explains the BIOS settings very well.


Bad Points

You must, must, must get a separate video card if you want to run XP to an acceptable level.


General Comments

I ran the PC Chips M810 motherboard for 2 years on Windows 98 with almost no problems. Then I loaded XP Pro in a dual boot configuration, which is kind of neat to do. In Win XP, the computer would freeze, the keyboard and mouse had no action, and looking at the reports of XP had no reason for the freeze.
I investigated everything, and logic said it must be the software (as Windows 98 is still perfect). I looked for over 6 months for the problem, then I bought a used video card, 64MB, and had 256MB of memory on board. Note that Aida 32, a monitoring software, recommended the video board. All problems solved!!! I have dual boot Windows 98, and 3 users on Windows XP Pro, with no problems at all now.
