WARNING

These motherboards are NOT intel VX chipsets, they are "fake" VXpro 
motherboards that are extremely unstable and of extremely low quality. Do not 
use one of these motherboards if they are given to you for free, they are 
*that* worthless. 

I spent 75$ a few months ago for one of these things and had nothing but 
crashes, crashes, crashes, and MORE crashes. (this was after my second 
motherboard, because of course the first one i got didn't even work! ) 

Recently I went out and bought a 150$ Aopen AP5T-3 and i can't remember the 
last time i had a mouse lockup. Spend the extra money on quality, _nothing_ is 
worth having to sit through a 2min bootup every twenty minutes, especially if 
you are doing anything remotely important with this computer.
