It has issues with interrupt routing and I could not get it to do anything even resembling realtime. I've had good results with the A7V600-X I replaced it with. The only downsides to this board are 1. the onboard audio sucks ass (but you weren't going to use it anyway, right? :) and 2. MIDI requires a dongle - if you have one from 10 years ago or something, the pinouts should be the same. Hope this helps, Jody
