This motherboard supports the latest Pentium 4 CPU from Intel in LGA775 package. With 1066/ 800/ 533 MHz FSB, Hyper-Threading Technology and core-speeds up to 3.8GHz and beyond, Intel's LGA775 Pentium 4 is one of the fastest desktop processors to date. This motherboard supports Intel 65nm Pentium D/ Intel Pentium 4/ Celeron processors. ASUS motherboard is the ideal solution to enhance the performance of new generation processors. The P5PL2 offers the CPU Lock Free feature, which allows you to adjust CPU multiplier to 14x. The reduction of multiplier value provides more flexibility for increasing external FSB frequency to raise memory bus bandwidth. CPU Lock Free boosts overall system performance by making synchronous modification possible. Enjoy better performance at the same CPU operation speed and improve your system without pushing the CPU to the limit. This motherboard provides convenient connectivity to external home theater audio systems via an S/PDIF-out jack. It allows transferring digital audio without converting to analog format and keeps the best signal quality.
...The AsusP2B is a stable and feature rich motherboard. It replaced a TMC motherboardI had which had ‘issues’ with Nvidia graphics cards. Since the swap my computer has been more stable in general use, as well as when the graphics card is working hard. Asus support the board well, a recent BIOS update added APCI power saving support. You get onboard USB, two EIDE channels, floppy disk controller, two serial ports, one parallel port and two ps/2 ports and the option to connect an infra red port. Wow! There’s lots of setup options to keep the tweakers happy and even the option of an Asus network card, which adds wake on LAN capability. Asus even have free motherboard monitoring/trouble shooting software available for download! If your slot 1 computer crashes a lot, try changing motherboards – you could be pleasantly surprised....

Best board I have had Review ofASUS AMD 761 Chipset A7M266 - motherboard - ATX - AMD-761by

Advantages: Very stable Disadvantages: Quite expensive
...I had recently had to make the decision on whether to upgrade my motherboard to another SDRAM board or to change to DDR. I decided that DDR was the way to go, as it is so cheap at the moment (same price as PC133). So, now I had to decide on one of two boards, the Gigabyte 7DX, which a friend of mine owns, and the Asus A7M266. Both were very similar to each other except the price, the Asus is a little dearer. However I have read reviews of both, and the Asus seemed to come with better software and was also said to have better overclocking abilities. This swung it for me. The Asus it was to be. This board has been better than expected; it is a lot more stable than my old one. It can also be overclocked a hell of a lot more....

Advantages: VERY stable, good price for performance Disadvantages: Now slightly outdated 754 socket, no PCI-Express
...at a low temperature of 28C, with the othercomponents not that hotter, I thought that it could take some more thrashing!
I was pleased to see full support for overclocking (1MHz FSB increments), and it handled it very well - I managed to overclock my Althon 64bit 3000+ quite nicely.
Overall this board it highly recommended for a total novice or an experienced builder. It sets the CPU up automatically, has SATA support and has some nice features such as ASUS MyLogo and Instant Music - plus its and ASUS, and you cant really go wrong with them!...
