ASUS M2N-E
- Pros: Good MB. Very impressed with it so far.
- Cons: Problems with interrupts. See below.
- Other Thoughts: I bought this MB with an AMD X2 4200 and a 2x2GB set of memory. The MB did fantastic for almost a year. I then decided I needed more memory (I had been planning for a while). I purchased 4 more GB of memory for a total of 8GB. Unbelievable problems.
NOTE: These problems do not seem to manifest themselves until >4GB of memory! You also need a 64bit OS or Linux with PAE extensions to see >4GB of memory!
First, Update Your BIOS! ASUS has released a LOT of updates. If you have 8GB, make sure the BIOS sees ALL 8GB (8192MB's).
Second, if you still are having problems disable your onboard network card, parallel port, and serial port. The MB doesn't handle interrupts properly and disabling these devices will help. Google if you don't believe me. There are some that do not have these problems, but many others are.
I really like this MB but spending a weekend with these interrupt problems really peeved me off.
Absolute Junk!!
- Pros: 1 star because it wont let me rate this piece of S*** any lower. Newegg shipping rocks
- Cons: I cant believe I wasted almost a year on this piece of S***. Right out of the box it refused to boot with my USB printer plugged in. About a month ago the PC just started to randomly shut off- initially I thought it was the 550w coolermaster PS so I ordered a 650w Corsair, no change- even got worse, wouldnt even get through bios post before it shut down. Decided it was the mobo and since ASUS has 3yr warranty, I RMAed it back. Well it was gone two weeks and returned back to me just as I sent it, with zero documentation, no explaination of wether it was good or bad, no report of what thier test results were, nothing!! So I re-installed and got the same response from this board. The solution was a CHEAP Foxconn board that went in flawlesslly and would even boot with a printer attatched!!
- Other Thoughts: I have heard that ASUS was putting out subpar components these days, and I guess thats true. This was my first and last purchase of anything labeled ASUS!!!

Solid Server Board
- Pros: Board comes with lots of PCI lanes and 6 SATA ports. Ran it for 8 months on Vista HP x32 with 4GB of PNY, and an AMD 4800+ Built a new system and turned it into a server. Running Win Server 2008 x64 Enterprise like a champ. With no driver issues. The PCIe x4 slot was perfect for my Intel Dual GbE NIC.
- Cons: The onboard LAN is garbage, no matter what drivers you are using, it will drop connections and lock up randomly, it never worked correctly and several other people have had serious issues with it. NE has a bunch of good/cheap PCIe x1 Gigabit NICs that will save you a ton of headaches.
- Other Thoughts: BIOS upgrade from inside OS is not a good idea... just load it to a thumb drive and save yourself some serious headaches.
