what are its disadvantages

Compared to most other Socket 775 chipsets?
Intel G31 chipset based motherboards do not offer Hardware Virtualisation support, the maximum memory speed officially supported is DDR2 667MHz/800MHz, the maximum memory supported on the motherboard itself is only 4GB DDR2 RAM, and offers only one PCI-e 16x slot, so only one graphic card is supported, and CrossFireX/SLI is not supported.

The southbridge that comes with the G31 chipset is the ICH7, which does not support RAID, and only offers four SATA II/3.0GBps ports.

Also - old, obsolete chipset with very limited overclocking abilities.
