5Great basic gaming board  Dec 12, 2008
Put an AMD Athlon 64X2 6000, 4-gig G-Skill suped-up memory, and a Radeon 3870OC card and this machine is playing every game thrown at it in a smooth and silky fashion. It is a bit cramped inside, and not too much thought was placed on where some connections were placed, but it is working beautifully. Well worth the $70+ dollars spent on it.

1Do not buy this motherboard  Nov 17, 2008
This board has cost me a huge amount of time and lost productivity. Some of the problems, *after* sending it back to ASUS and having it returned to me:
- Whenever you modify the BIOS, you have to power down and restart the machine because the keyboard controller stops working (this sometimes happens when you're stil l in the bios!)
- It does not assign addresses correctly, so my $300 Areca RAID card is useless with it.
- The only fix for the address conflict issue is to run with ACPI off. However, the only way to do this on Windows is to use Standard PC mode (i.e. don't use 3 of the 4 cores on my cpu). Trying to boot this board as an MPS multi-processor board under Windows simply blue-screens with a page fault in non paged area.

It's taken two months and much work with support for all of the other hardware I have in this machine to conclusively determine that the board is the source of all of these problems. In the meantime I have lost huge amounts of work to diagnosing it, reinstalling windows 3+ times in various drive configurations to rule out bad disks, etc.

5Worked Perfect for Me  Jun 28, 2008
I put a amd X2 processor in it and a 3870 video card. 2 Gigs of ram. Needed to update the bios. Plenty of overclocking features if your into that sort of thing. Have the cpu clock set @ 250 running my processor @ 3.125ghz. It will support 1066+ memory. I just ordered some 1150 for it to see if I can get it faster. Will be crossfiring it in the future. Nice that both PCIE slots are 16x

Watch the automatic cpu voltage selector in the bios. Sometimes it way over voltages the cpu. I had to leave it turned off.

1Asus customer support is HORRIBLE  May 29, 2008
I was a big Asus fan simply because they've made great products but this isn't one of them. After 2 months it died and failed to post. Narrowed it down to the motherboard. No problem, I thought. Just visit Asus website and make an RMA - WRONG. The only way to get an RMA is by calling Asus, on my dime, and listening to Asus ads for half an hour. Then get treated like dirt and transferred around to support, then RMA, then support, then level 2, then rma again. Never again will I buy an Asus item. Never. Search google for "Asus RMA support" and you'll see what I mean. It's enough to make your head explode.

2Not a good crossfire board  May 27, 2008
The layout of this board is horrible.

The largest issue with this board is SATA placement. All four internal SATA connectors are right under the second PCIex16 slot. If you're running crossfire with a full-sized card and sata drives, be prepared for a nightmare. It's impossible to attach 4 sata drives without issues. I've yet to get a "problem free" layout.

Add in the fact that the floppy connector requires you to WRAP the fdd cable around the second video card causes more problems.
