Installing the GA-6OXM7E was an extremely easy process. The board's standard size and extremely good layout helped to make CPU and peripheral installation go very smoothly. By placing the ATX power connector well away from the other components, Gigabyte also lowered the “skinned knuckles” aspect of mother installations quite significantly. One interesting feature is the retention clip on the AGP slot. This helps seat the AGP card more firmly on the board and ensures that it will be more difficult to jar loose. It also makes AGP cards more difficult to remove as well. The only issues with the GA-6OXM7E were our inability to use larger heatsinks due to the nearby capacitors, as well as the previously mentioned problem in adding or removing SDRAM with the AGP card installed.
