Newbie Review by Mary the Motherboard Newbie Product Reviewer:
On board LAN is fast runs stable with some nice over clocking An amazing level of options for such a low price. I liked this board for its helpful POST voice though. Instead of beeps it tells you what went wrong. Build quality is excellent, documentation is above average, and you do get lots of cables. CSA LAN, dual channel DDR, HT support, ICH5R RAID controller, on-board firewire, etc. are just some of the features that make it worth the price. Just make sure your bios is up to date. I've always trusted ASUS boards because of their stability and performance, and this is no exception. Comes with other great features.
