Cons: Neweggs' review AND Asus website both specify this board has a PCIE 2.0 X16 slot. But when it showed up it was just PCIE X16,.. even the manual said so.
Other Thoughts: Newegg quickly issued an RMA and sent a prepaid shipping label via email. But spent extra money to 2nd day FedEx some of the other parts here to get it all together in same day, what a disappointment.

Fantastic Server Board
Reviewed By: Lucas on 1/8/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: This board is great! It is reasonably priced. I use it in my file server.
I really wanted these features: six SATA ports, integrated graphics with DVI, and an onboard serial port. I got them all!
It offers an Intel gigabit controller, which is probably much better than Realtek controllers offered with similar chipsets.
I wanted six onboard SATA ports so that I could have two disks for the OS (in RAID 1) and four disks for data (in RAID 10). I wanted the serial port for use with uninterruptible power supply. DVI, HD audio, and gigabit ethernet are necessary these days.
It seems stable. The BIOS is nice.
Cons: It has one PCI Express 16x and three PCI slots. I'd like a couple PCI Express 1x slots instead of two of the three PCI slots.
Other Thoughts: I run FreeBSD 8.0. I was having extreme difficulty with SATA compatibility. Here is the trick: Under the power menu in the BIOS, enable "ACPI APIC support," which includes "ACPI APIC table pointer to RSDT pointer list." Then you will be able to run SATA in AHCI mode, and you will have access to all six SATA channels.

Ready To Fire
Reviewed By: SWCCman on 1/8/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Easy to fit, connect and no compatibility problems with the Ubuntu HCL. Plenty of slots, and it stays alive even though it operates 24 hours a day as an HTPC. Supports all my cards, (Hauppauge, Creative and NVIDIA. Linux HAL picks them all up does a great job.
Cons: none really. Could use firewire ports.
Other Thoughts: This is the Intel board I intended to write about, not the other P5QL. The board is good so far. I have had Intel and ASUS boards fry on me within a month. I have one ASUS board that has gone for a long time, it runs an AMD 3800+, it to is a Linux box and it just keeps serving and streaming terabytes of info to my serious HTPC.
Unlike most folks, my HTPC has to serve to dual zone receivers, and at the end of the line, Klipsch Forte II's, Altec 19's and Klipsch Cornwalls. Good sound starts at the source with my soundblaster X-Fi extreme music boards. Adding a drive or two to this board was easy.
