Honest Opinion on Motherboard

[viper134]

Hi, my father just got me a gaming computer and I was wondering about a couple things. The motherboard he got was a micro-atx called a Intel DG33TL. I can't find much information about it except two reviews which basically says it does its job well but not much besides that. Is this a good motherboard? I'll be using it primarily for gaming. I don't oc though.

Any help would be great

the rest of the specs are a intel e8200(2.66) processor(i'll try to switch this to a e8500). a bfg 260 oc gfx card, 4 gigs of ram, windows xp pro which i'll try to get him to switch to vista 64x and a 1 tb wd drive although i'm considering switching it to a seagate 500 gig 7200 sata

Running at stock speeds its a wonderful board. However they normally come with limited overclocking support if any at all.

PS: Stick with the 1tb drive. The performance isn't worth the loss of capacity.
