UPDATE
Pros: Just update- got new ram sticks- no problem- these are the gskill. Seem's the ones I got were just weak and couldn't handle it. So far have been' gaming- no probs. Make sure you set voltage to 2.155, update bios, and set ram settings to 1066.
Cons: Hopefully was none with board. Using all aspects except sli.
Overall Review: Had bought two - same set up, and had problems with both- one was weak ram, other was driver issues- Asus in my book is still number one.
M3n- ram issues
Pros: Everything works- except ram that was on their list to use. Bought two of these boards, evga 260, and gskill 1066 4 gb ram. Both motherboards getting bsd's. Followed instructions on same board with ram changing voltages, and timings, and ram would still not install Vista 64. Used one stick to install- tried both seperately-not able to install without bsd. Xp installed, but when playing games for awhile, would kick out and give bsd.
Cons: Whish the setup worked.
Overall Review: Asus m3n72-D, Gskill 1066 4 gb, EVGA 260, wd 250x2 in raid, 700 watt ocz mod extreme pro. Replaced ram with corsair 800 and no problems, so I am gonna say no problem with board-hopefully ram as I sent them in for rma. Would give 5 eggs if ram was not listed as what they suggested.
Only if you can play
Pros: single player
Cons: 2nd day, and cannot play. I played in beta, and yet can't even log onto server. Yesterday, at least I got kicked by punkbuster after 2 minutes of play. These companys' are taking everyone's $50 and stealing it. I hate Steam, but at least I don't get kicked when playing mw 2. Quality control need's to be priority, instead of stealing your money, and letting everyone who buys the game be the real beta testers.
Overall Review: Don't waste your money until they fix multiplayer.
gskill/Asus m3n72-d
Pros: It ran at 800.
Cons: I built two computers, one for me and friend using Asus m3n72-d, 9950 amd, 4 gb gskill. Updated biose's, set voltages according to previous review with m3n. BSD over and over on mine. Kicked out of game on friends when running 3d.
Overall Review: I spent two days trying to get these to work. They are on the suggested lists on Asus's sight. I normally use corsair, but too many bad reviews as of late, so went with g skill. Will only run on 800 speeds. Mine ran for about 10 mins, then just stopped working period. Set friends set at same settings, his stayed running, but still kicked out of gaming when in 3d. I sent both of mine back to new egg, and doing the same for him. I already requested replacements, so i will try corsair for his. Not happy at all. New Egg rox. Asus M3n72D/ 9950 AMD quad/ 250 Evga Nvidia/ 250 x 2 raid wd/ mine Vista 64, friends xp 32.-me-one big headache!
4 my rig
Pros: Modular, ran 2 7900gt's in sli, now running 8800gt. Great product
Cons: None
Overall Review: Asus m2n deluxe, evga 8800gt, 4 gig coarsair xms2, 2 wd 250gb, amd 4000 x 2, thermaltake armor case, soundblaster xfi
Great little board
Pros: Great board. Easy setup, no hitches. Been' playing BF2142 in SLI with 2 7900GT's.
Cons: SLI info very vague-pcie slot closest to pci slot is card number one. Not 16x, but for a gaming lanparty rig, worked out sweet.
Overall Review: 64 4000 2 Maxtor raid 0 2 EVGA 7900GT's in SLI 2 gigs Corsair Aspire Q pack-be careful putting on bridge in q-pack-it can be done. Antec 550w venus 7+ cooler sounblaster xfi.
