I am thinking of buying a system with the A8N-E motherboard. Has anyone got
any opinions on this board God or Bad

Thanks Don
 
I'm using it, have no problems and am very satisfied. Last I checked
newegg.com has it on sale for $125.
In my opinion, this board is good for the low to intermediate gamer and,
espcially, for a computer tech like myself.
This board overclocks well and with a BIOS update it would be ready for the
dual-cores.

HTH,

I am very satisfied with mine. Note that I replaced the chipset cooler
(never tried it without).

chip cooler, AMD64 3500+ .90 w/XP-120 & Nexus 120 @12V, 1GB (2 x 512)

It is very noisy. Actually, the actual heat sink is minuscule (not counting
the fan) and the fan must therefore run at very high speeds which makes a
loud noise. So with the much larger Zalman passive heatsink, I still get
better cooling.

My system sits underneath my work table and is only barely audible (only in
certain situations where the ambient noise level is extremely low).

Here is a pic of the Zalman chipset cooler installed on the A8N-E
