    I am probably one the few who has this board but as regards its performance this thing is a beast. Yes its AM2 i dont care about intel (for new rig just decided to go with amd, before anyone says anything the core 2 duo kicks ass) Anyway!! For overclocking this board one of the best i have used yet. hefty price tag, was swayed by the beauty of the packaging intereseting to hear comments did i choose wisely i think so...

    Question highlighted :) Note - boldness and question mark added

    To answer your question - if your happy with it and your computer can do everything you want it do then you chose wisely.
    I also went am2 - got the asus model just below your one - the m2n32.
    Great mobo's.
    The blue lights on the crosshair look pretty cool.

    What cpu did you put in it? I stuck in a cheap A64 3800+
    Still plays Oblivion at 1680x1050 with all eye candy reasonably well (still dips below 30fps if theres alot going on :( ).
