You've picked out your processor, video card and memory, and now you need a powerful mobo to put it all together. Asus Premium Vista Edition socket AM2 board supports up 8GB of DDR2 memory. The variety of ports and expansion slots is impressive, but they are all in the spec section and chances are if you need it, this board has it, including 2 PCI-e x16 slots that will stay at full x16 speed in SLI mode.
Since this is an Ai Lifestyle board, you get some great extras. The Screen Duo is a secondary TFT screen that can display RSS feeds, information about your PC, Outlook email and contacts, play an image slideshow, and control iTunes or Windows Media Player. A wireless remote lets you launch applications and play media quickly. The Superbeam Array Microphone is extremely directional so it only picks up what's in its reception cone.
Intelligent overclocking makes it easy to get the most out of your system. The AI clock skew automatically skews signal timing, for a 10-15% memory boost. Precision Tweaker allows incremental voltage and frequency adjustments to the processor memory and bus. The AI NOS dynamically overclocks your system giving it the boost it needs, as it needs it. Asus continues to develop new solutions for your computing needs. Find yours!
