...Excellent motherboard. This is the first motherboard that I have installed in a computer before, and did ASUS make it easy for me!
The manual is very clear, and tells you where everything is. All the connectors matched up with my Akasa Zen Case connectors, which I thought was great, as since then I didn't have the same experience with a Thermaltake case.
The silent heatpipe, makes this a very quiet motherboard, whereas most normal motherboards would have a rubbish little fan that gets clogged with dust and ends up making a terrible noise. If you need to have a fan on the chipset heatsink, asus provide a fan that slots on to the top of the heatsink.
Aswell as the chipset fan, ASUS provide loads of other stuff. This includes USB expansion, firewire expansion, SATA cables, and more! Great if you need any of this stuff.
Overall I think...

...This board is an excelent partner for a Core2Duo processor. Everything worked straight out of the box and it didnt even blink when i accidentally overclocked the cpu from 2.16 to 3.2Ghz. it has not crashed once on me yet even with my constant tinkering and just seems to get faster as asus are regularly releasing new bios updates(which are very easy to use).
onboard wifi is fine, comes with a small aerial that gets a good signal from my router. also packaged is an excelent directional microphone thats great for voice communications apps.
asus support is aledgedly excelent, altho i'v found their website to be a little slow here in the uk.
asus also claim that this board will support the upcoming core2quadro, 4-core intel cpus....

Daughterboard Review ofASUSP5V-VM DH Digital Home Series - motherboard - microATX - P4M890by

It also comes with an Asus DH Remote, ASUS MP3-In, and an ASUSWiFi-AP Solo which is a wireless receiver which is actually surprisingly good.
It is said that it can handle hyper threading technology and core-speeds up to 3.8GHz and beyond, although my computer keep freezing regularly and the screen flickers constantly, so I very much doubt it can handle 3.8GHz clock speed.
I have 2 Intel Core PC's, and one has a cheaper P5V-D2 MXmotherboard, and it works quicker, it works more reliably and it hasn't had one problem from point one, where as my P5V-VM DH computer has had constant problems and is acting more like a 128ram windows 98 PC near to extinction.
I am not entirely sure if the problem lies fully on the motherboard, as the graphics card or monitor may have a large part in it, but other then the cool remote and button features...

The P5K Premium was the first motherboard I considered buying when I decided it was time to upgrade my CPU to a Core 2 Quad Q6600. I was very happy with the results - the P5K allowed me to overclock my processor by 1.2GHz to a stable 3.6GHz on air... more
