Advantages: HDTV output, supports AMDs Cool 'n' Quiet Disadvantages: Only one lan
The ASUS M2NPV-VMMotherboard for AMD single-core Athlon 64/ Sempron and Dual-core Athlon 64 X2/ Athlon FX processors using socket AM2 is very user friendly, I went with AMDs 64 x2 3800+ processor in the beginning then moved up to 4200+ 2Gb Ram without any hassle, very easy to setup and fits easily in a standard ATX case. A possible downside to the board is that it has a limited number of slots due to being a microATX sized board. That's not a big deal for me as the only two cards I'll be buying in the future is Graphics and a extra Lan card.

>In the upper right hand corner of the motherboard are the ATX 24 pin power connector, Floppy disk connector, Game/Midi port connector and four DDR2 slots. These DDR2 slots support a maximum memory capacity of 8GB and the frequencies supported is DDR2-800MHz/667 ...
Advantages: cost effective board from a respected manufacturer Disadvantages: only supports 2GB RAM and very limited overclocking abilities thanks to the 915 chipset.
After the capacitors started to bulge on my 6 year old Abit TH7-II RAID board (see other review), I found myself needing a replacement Pentium 4 motherboard quickly. I didn't have much money to spend, fortunately one of my mates who was upgrading to a Core2 donated me his old P5GPLX-SE.
This board uses the Intel Grantsdale 915PL / ICH6 chipset and supports the Intel Pentium 4 or Celeron D processor in socket LGA 775 format. Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds are either 533 or 800, depending on the CPU used. The board has 3 normal PCI slots, one PCI-E x1 slot and 1PCI-e x16 slot. 2 RAM slots are available and the board supports DDR 333 or 400 memory with a maximum capacity of 2GB. That means 2x 1GB DDR400 dimms in each of the two slots max this board out. The board does support dual channel, so filling both slots with the same RAM can give ...
Advantages: cheapest i could find with UK online retailer Disadvantages: open box item
REVIEW FOR ASUS M4A78 PRO purchased from LUCMOS.CO.UK
PROS: Built in video (VGA, HDMI, DVI), fiber optic out, RAID 0,1,5,10, JBOD; capable of locating and flashing bios under windows; 6 SATA slots, potential of 12 USB; 3 PCI slots handy to recycle various cards from old computer (ie old TV card)
CONS: Bios only partially recognizes my Microsoft wireless photo keyboard set (mouse, not keyboard); Utilizing the optical out blocks one USB out (TOO CLOSE TOGETHER), No Firewire inputs on board (yet STILL with COM1 and floppy inputs?!)
Other Thoughts: This was an open box item for 65 quid all in which Lucmpos indicates will not ship with the full complement of stuff, but I was expecting the I/O backing to at least cover up the back of my tower for this system of outputs...Alas, no. This baby shipped with just the board and non else ...
