Advantages: Flexible
Disadvantages: -

...Being a personal computer (PC) supplier, I try to find a 'better' product with better price for my consumers. As a fact, consumers would have a good product with reasonable price. ASUS is a well known manufacturer for mainboards. It always gets awards from several PC magazines and institutions. This image gives Asus a high goodwill? This is not my personal opinion, but it comes from my consumers. Awards? Some new PC consumers do not realize that awards are given to CERTAIN PRODUCTS of a manufacturer. As Asus products always gets awards, it does not mean all Asus products are the best. Seeing the fanatic consumers of Asus, and standing at the supplier side, I try to offer my consumers ASUS P5PE-VM mainboard as it offers the most competitive price and it comes with some nice features. SPECIFICATIONS Intel 865G... Read review

Advantages: Quite Cheap and Supporting Nowadays' Tech.
Disadvantages: Not Found, yet

...Do you plan to buy a new personal computer (PC)? Here is another motherboard from Asus – P5VD2-X. Being an indirect consumer (I am running a PC-Shop), I have built 16 PC using this motherboard since 4 months ago, and none of them returns to me till now. It proves the stability and endurance of this product. Formerly I recommended Asus P5PE-VM which comes with onboard graphic-card and lower price. Both P5PE-VM and P5VD2-X support Intel Core 2 Duo processors, but if you are interested in having a “better” motherboard with a reasonable price rate, I would recommend you to buy P5VD2-X. Why P5VD2-X? First of all, I know most people always remember “Intel Inside“, and “Powered by Asus”. These two slogans are quite effective and make people, usually people who come into my shop asking for the two brands, Intel and Asus as if they knew... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Must have ASUS (Deluxe/Premium) motherboard with Wi-Fi@Home socket, PC must be on to use the wireless

...was installed on that I needed a driver for it so I installed it from the CD provided. After the installation of the software, Windows asked me whether I want to produce the Windows XP wireless software or the one I just installed. I chose the Asus software and simply went through a wizard and chose the options that suited me. After these steps, the access point was working and I was able to access the Internet from my laptop wirelessly. There’s also the option to set up WEP security (a type of encryption) so that people outside my house wouldn’t be able to access my network. I set this up but unfortunately I was not able to access the Internet once I had turned this on so I had to turn it off completely so that I could use the thing.

Advantages: Quality and fast overclocking, great for games
Disadvantages: In the shadow of the Core 2 duo motherboards

...When purchasing my new computer i needed a motherboard that could handle the latest technology and compete with the latest releases. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard fitted within my budget of one hundred pounds and offered a powerful tool for over clocking my components to keep my machine competing with the stresses of new programs and hardware. Fitting the motherboard and installing the other hardware was exactly the same as fitting other motherboards. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard supports the AMD AM2 cpu and thus supports DDR2 ram, this meant that when recycling my old computer i was unable to use the cpu or the RAM and needed to purchase these items again. The passive cooling on the ASUS M2N32-SLI means that no fans are needed to cool the motherboard making it quiet. The motherboard comes with a optional fan which snaps onto... Read review

Advantages: Overclocking is Easy, Quality Product, Great Performance
Disadvantages: Layout not suitable for every PC

...! The motherboard comes with all sorts of programs including ASUS Probe, which is a lovely little utility which quickly provides a comprehensive and dynamic list of all temperatures within the PC. Great for a quick check, if you're after system stability. The motherboard specs are pretty convincing too: - Socket LGA775 for all the new Pentium D processors too! - Intel 955X Chipset - DDR2 800 - PCI-E - PEG Link It also features support for outboard SATA3 devices. The motherboard supports 5 internal SATA3 devices. 4 of these are controlled by Intel's ICH-7R chip and support native RAID. In either 0, 1, 5 or 10 configuration. The other 2 SATA3 ports are controlled by the Silicon Image Sil3132 chip and supports RAID in 0 and 1 arrays. Dual RAID really is an awesome capability. Another nice touch on the board is the Dual Gigabit LAN... Read review
