Everlasting Disappointment

Pros Great features. Superb layout. Excellent, easily-updated BIOS.
Cons Devastating stability issues. Strange errors during POSTing. Poor support from ASUS.
Recommended it? No

Rarely will I take the time to write a long-winded review over a product I've had a poor experience with. Sadly, however, ASUS has let me down – for the first time. So bad, that after four months, I still can't get over it. Prepare yourself folks, for a very depressing review.

Quality Mobo At A Low Price--Great Value!

I had an AMD processor running on an Asus A7a266 for years, and this combo gave me great service. When the CPU finally died--yes, from overheating--I decided I would go with another AMD-ASUS combination. I could have bought another old chip and put it in at considerable... Read full review »

Pros Lots of settings and tweaks. Runs cool.
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

The dual 16x Pci xpress board is a very versatile board.
It will run either one 16x PCI video card, or two in SLI mode for serious gaming. It has front and back firewire ports. Four each SATA II drive ports right on the edge of the board facing drive cage in a typical ATX case. Lots of room... Read full review »

Not quite a bargain...

Pros Cheap.
Cons Lots of problems: network, case compatibility, access to BIOS...
Recommended it? No

This board looked like it was a great value. Abit makes good MBs so when Fry's put it on sale I bought it right away. I tried to put it in a SA-1 Ione case (very nice) but the case wants a parallel port to link their front-panel display with the MB. No dice! The MB doesn't have a serial or parallel...
