Pros: The Intel driver allows you to setup NIC teaming (802.3ad). It even allows for teaming with other adaptors with reduced functionality, e.g. no jumbo frames and no receive side scaling. I teamed it up with the Realtek 81xx that was on the motherboard in Dynamic Link Aggregation under windows 7.

Cons: A little pricy, but still the easiest way of getting more than 1Gbps network

Overall Review: Teaming may also be known as bonding or link aggregation (LACP). Make sure your switch supports 802.3ad.

Pros: Good use of a 5-1/4" slot. Trays slide well.

Cons: Fan moves a ton of air, but is very very loud. I had to disable it.

Pros: Seems like a nice MB.

Cons: Hangs on two different disks from previous computer when these are connected to the on-board SATA controllers. When the disks are connected to a PCI-E Sil3124 the disks work fine and computer boots. Also, drives on the CD that came with the MB worked, bu the ones from Asus.com did not match.

Pros: Worked for a while

Cons: Died after a while

Pros: I've owned many a large fan and overclocked many a computer and this thing has me impressed. I took a 2.8GHz Yorkfield and it ran 33-36 on the cores with no load, and 38-42 on the cores with 100 load in BurnInTest in the test Max CPU temp. Clocked it up to 3.7GHz, ran the test again, core temps 42-45! This is where my 7i920 with the largest Zalman fan-based cooler hit 70. I litterally had to check the performance meeters to convince my self that the test was actually running. (i know somebody will say that my Zalman cooler is not correctly attached, but it's been on and off many times now and is put on with the "rice-sized-droplet-of-artic-silver", so it's done right.)

Cons: Ok, the cooler didn't quite fit the case so the cooler element is hanging outside the case attached with plastic straps.

Overall Review: You should check the temperature on other components that sit around the CPU and normally rely on the air flow from the CPU cooler.

Pros: Trays installs well and fan is reasonably quiet.

Cons: None.
