The only negative thing about the board is u need an add on card to make use of digital sound output (Toslink/Spdif...)
I haven tried an add on card though. Maybe some one can comment on that.
If you are running the D945GCLF2 (and possibly the D945GCLF2D), it does include
a S/PDIF out header on the motherboard. You can search eBay for the proper
cable/adapter/jacks (search "Intel SPDIF"). Or, if you do not need optical out and can
can live with coax, you can do what I did and just wire up the header to an RCA jack
and plug that into your receiver (look at the manual for the appropriate pin-outs).
