Disadvantages: Not Found, yet

...to recommend you P5VD2-X. It comes with nice features. It is still listed as Hot Product in their official site. For more detailed technical specifications on this product, feel free to follow the following link: http://www.asus.com.tw/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=346&l4=0&model=1362&modelmenu=2 This motherboard is recommended for people who love playing games and processing / editing graphics or photographs. No integrated / onboard graphic adaptor comes with this board. It requires an additional PCI-Express Video Card.

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

...for sure. I’ve found that signal strength is pretty good although I can only go as far as my living room. This may very well be due to the walls I’ve got in the house. Larger spaces may allow for better signals. The antenna is at the end of a 1m wire thus allowing you to move it about for the best reception. I quite like this in the way that it’s flexible although I think it would be even better if it was even longer (i.e. 2-3 metres) so that I can put it somewhere higher than the top of the PC. That might get me better signals and especially since my PC is on the floor. VERDICT I think you would be better off getting a PCI wireless card even if you have an Asus motherboard that has the Wi-Fi@Home socket. If you were to sell the motherboard and buy a different brand, you would have to sell the card with the Asus you’re selling because... Read review

Advantages: reliable, robust, the right features and configuration
Disadvantages: Asus not well-known for laptops

...Sep 2006: My previous laptop was a Compaq Evo N1050v of 3 years. It eventually needed replacing and after a long research period, I made up my mind to go for this Asus F3JA.

...I have been using my Asus technologies Pundit P1-PH1 of just over a year and a half now without any problems I wanted to build a computer without the hastle and wanted to get a better spec than what was available on the high street or from companies such as Dell The P1-PH1 is a small compact barebones unit which you can configure and spec to your level or budget, Asus have many barebones units available but I chose this one as it was small compact and did not take up much room on a desk.

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

...the top the heat dissipater. The ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard comes into its own when overclocking it. The manual supplied comes with lots of information about the ins and outs of the BIOS features and on the the support disc offers an array of programs which helped me to name the two most important ones are:- 1.AI Gear allowed me to quickly change the CPU frequencies with a few clicks in the operating system and overclock it to my current computer working load 2.ASUS probe 2 allows me to check the motherboard and CPU temperatures and fan speeds to make sure that things are working properly. A customizable threshold can be set to set an alarm off to detect any problems. I found this is essential when booting up for the first time or when overclocking. The motherboard also comes with a built in sound card, a wireless router... Read review

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

...This is the first Intel compatible board I've ever bought. After buying AMD for many years, I picked this board with the new Pentium D 805 processor because of the immense overclocking potential. The processor was a mere £79.95 and runs at 2.66Ghz standard. I've overclocked it to 3.4Ghz with no stabililty issues using only fans and heatsinks. Tom's Hardware have reportedly got 4.1+Ghz out of this chip using water cooling..! So, I was confident after buying ASUS motherboards for AMD for years that their Intel boards would be just as good. I was right. The motherboard is extremely well designed. I noticed a big difference when I was removing the old PC from it's case that this one was replacing. This ASUS motherboard has everything colour coded. Although not really a big deal for major components that are easily recognisable, it... Read review

Advantages: Fast for a older gen card & stable thx to excellent driversupport
Disadvantages: too expensive compared to newer series of cards

...though the performance still gives me very acceptable FPS (frames per second) when playing games with medium to high resolution set & filters like AntiAliasing/Anisotroperic filtering is enabled in moderate to high levels depending on which title I`m playing. Adding in the fact that the HD series support DX10.1 & PCI-E 2.0 (youll need a motherboard with the Intel x38 chipset in order to use PCI-e 2.0 & those cost plenty) shouldn´t play a big role today as the new technology have to mature for some time first in order too see any major benefit versus the big wad of cash youll have to spend. If you can get this one in Bulk/OEM/secondhand or @ a pricetag around 35-45% (not that a 100£ is a lot of cash but yet still too expensive for my taste) less than that of a HD3850 256MB, then you can say it´s a good purchase, otherwise look for another...

Disadvantages: I COULD FIND NONE

...was lit and the HDD's whirred on the press of the button) but no video. I can only draw my conclusions is that since the only thing I had not changed was my excellent A8N-E motherboard that it must be this that has gone u/s. All the plug-ins worked fine in the other PC! ASUS: Please remake some more of these super MoBo's, there are none to be found nowadays, I have searched, there are a few s/h ones, but I want new. I searched for almost a week on the internet but can only find and STILL find the Sister motherboards, the ASUS A8N-SLI and the -VM models. Now why are these still around? They are gaming MoBo's in the main but as I cannot find a new replacement for my dead A8N-E, I will certainly get hold of one of these that are of the same brood. The ASUS A8N-SLI will do me nicely. I wish I could go to a shop and purchase a replacement though... Read review
