Super Motherboard.......2007-01-27

I don't have any word...This thing is super great...Super Easy for the O.V fans as me...

Great Motherboard!!!!!.......2006-09-06

This is the best motherboard I have had experience using. Since I use mine for heavy gaming and video editing, the dual graphic card support comes in real handy for rendering video and game graphics. Not to mention the support of a raid SATA hard drive set up, which comes in handy with heavy video loads from my video editing. I am also very surprised at the quality of the built in sound card.

I have called support a few times for general information and with a few questions. Both times they were very helpful, patient and kind.

I would recommend this great board to everybody thats into gaming, image editing, video editing, 3d editing and audio editing!

Excellent Documentation, easy install.......2006-08-05

I am not a career computer builder but I have built several of my own machines over the years. The manual with this motherboard, by far, had the most clear documentation and install process of any I've seen.

The board was shipped with accessories including SATA cables, standard ATA133 IDE cables and more.

Bios has lots of customization/tweak options for geeks (I am sometimes one) but works easily with a default install and letting settings auto set and auto detect.

The board layout seemes to not have any "gotchas" like this cable blocks access to that slot/plug, etc.

This purchase was to replace a malfunctioning motherboard. I used the same hard drives(Maxtor SATA160GB's), memory (corsair)and processor-- AMD 64 X2 3800 (not sure about the 3800). Using the serial ata raid stripe, I saw major performance improvements by just going to this motherboard and the sata raid stripe. I didn't realize that setting up raid for windows xp requires you have a "floppy disk" to give it the specific driver unless you slipstream it onto the xp install. I had to buy a floppy drive just for this, and made the driver disk from the included driver cd.

Overall, a great product with desirable features, and great documentation.

ASUS motherboards are great.......2006-07-18

I'm not really sure what happened with the first reviewer of this board but ASUS is top notch quality boards. Honestly, if you are not sure what you're doing with a board like this in the first place, I would recommend sticking with Dell systems. There are countless available non-ASUS resources readily available around the net. There are many forums out there that have hundreds of thousands of members who help each other out with what settings to use, what BIOS versions are the most stable etc.

This motherboard is for the extreme over clocker in mind. Coming from the regular A8N-SLI Deluxe, it was a big step up as far as over clocking options are concerned. Not only that but this board is feature packed with nice passive cooling. It has more options that you could wish for. Again, great motherboard but if you aren't sure what you're doing, may I suggest sticking with a Dell or visiting one of the many great technical forums online.

Zero Support.......2006-07-16

This is my third Asus mother board. All were great, manual was excellent and email support was swift. Now all of these reasons to buy asus are missing. Manual provides no assistance, zero. FAQ online, nothing. email for assistance, no reply. Asus user Forum, no help. Got all accomplished without assistance. Went to register .... and couldn't get that done, so I gave up on it. I've wasted 38 hours on account of missing basic information & support. My previous motherboards (ASUS) were well documented with excellent definitions of BIOS options, etc. Everything went smoothly. I expected the same excellent support from ASUS today, I didn't get it. No more Asus. Be ware.
