great board for the price
- Pros: good solid board got mine open box for 41 bucks which was great for my budget build. Overclocks my athlon II x2 240 to 3.2ghz with no problems (not really pushing it) has 4 ram slots
- Cons: only 2 pci slots and they are very close to the pci-e x16 2.0 slot so my hd4850 takes over one and that only leaves me with one more and its being used by a wireless card and its still pretty close to my video card which i feel isnt getting the best air flow because of this. No acc for overclocking
- Other Thoughts: no accessories with open box
its ok, just not my friend.
- Pros: It works. It came in a prebuilt comp that I'm currently tinkering with, lets me use my phenom II x4 with ddr2, so I was able to re purpose parts easy enough-ish.
- Cons: It only lets you use 2 single channel DDR2 1066 sticks. The description doesn't mention that at all. seems a bit... shaddy, but does mention it on the box/book so they really should just update there description on the internet.
the PCI Express 2.0 x16 is REALLY close to the other PCI cards, so think thin, every thing I needed got in OK, but I think that graphics cards need a "personal space bubble" so there fans don't just blow hot air at its self.
- Other Thoughts: Not a great platform for expansion, but I doubt it was made for that anyway. probably would be fine for regular people, who don't upgrade comps after they "just work".
If I have known about the DDR2 thing, I probably would have not gotten the prebuilt comp, not the fault of ASUS though.
Works Like it Should
- Pros: It works well.
- Cons: Could have used a 1394 header, at least one.
- Other Thoughts: I used all recomended hardware with this board and had no problems. I do not over clock.
