This motherboard has no fads in its design, which is natural for an inexpensive product. Fortunately, there are no engineering flaws sticking out either. Only the additional CPU power connector should have been installed at the edge of the board instead of the center, so that there were no need to lay the cable over the CPU cooler. We used to consider four PCIEx1 and just two PCI slots to be a drawback. But everything is changing, and practically all kinds of expansion cards are available in the PCIE format. So two PCI slots will be enough for old cards. It must be also taken into account that a dual-slot graphics card will block one of PCIE slots, so there will be only three available slots. And if engineers had replaced one of them with PCI, there would have been only two of them left, too few.
