Not up to normal ASUS standards
02/28/2008
This review is from: ASUS P5K-E/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Fast delivery by Newegg. Board worked upon arrival.
Cons:
This is about my 6th ASUS motherboard, first with problems. Layout is restrictive. Using high end video cards, which are long, cover some of the onboard SATA ports, making them useless. The board advertized compatible with DDR2 1066 mhz. BIOS is not set up for auto detection of 1066 and recommends manual setting. With the Bios version installed, the computer locked up and the battery had to be removed and jumper reset to get the system to work. ASUS tech support blamed the problem on Kingston (listed as compatable) with no help. I did upgrade the BIOS and that has seemed to solve the problem, with manual setup. Soundmax software has limited flexability. Realtech is better.
Overall Review:
Based on the tech support help or lack there of, layout, next time I will consider another manufacturer.
