So not really anything to set your hair on fire but that's to be forgiven since the target audience is the mid to low end user segment. It's not a power users board, however it does have a solid base spec and decent add on features (audio and Ethernet) which makes it perfect for the budget user, much like ECS's K75SA.
It's nice to see support for a decent amount of system memory and 3 slots on a board of this spec giving you decent room for expansion and the inclusion of 6 PCI slots will never be criticised by this reviewer.
So a solid set of features for someone looking to put together a little multi purpose box. A good start from Leadtek.
Let's take a look at the layout.
