Well.. even though it's a socket 939 and AM2 is starting to move up a bit, this Mobo still proves 939 can crush AM2 boards for another couple years or more. I'm running this mobo with 3200 DDR 2 Gig (at 400mhz) x2 Geforce 7900Gs AMd 64 4000+ (4000+ Since I'm a hardcore gamer and not a frequent multi-tasker+ The x2 3800 and x2 4200 are crushed by the 4000+ in primary gaming benchmarks&fps :P, just a piece of info for the ppl who play games like F.E.A.R EP, Doom3, Far Cry, Quake 4, BF2142 and the upcoming UT2007, Crysis and Halo 2 Vista) Ultra Grid Case 250gig 7200 Rpm HD and 2x 17'' monitor LCD. All in all.. keeps cool, runs great, even though we're headed into 07, do not let others fool you. 939 will be around for alot longer regardless of DDR2 Ram. Also keep in mind alot of testers and people who own sites still use this mobo as well as others like it. For gamers who wonder what kind of FPS I get.. I get over 100 FPS easily with BF 2142 at Maxed AA and AAF+All High (With Fraps)

The board is solid and well designed. If you are no aware of the power supply requirements, the older 10 pin supply will not work. This came as a surprise to me and perhaps many other computer builders who use existing PS. It pays to get a new case with a 400+ PS. Other than that, the board is great and workes like a charm.

ALRIGHT, this motherboard is an awesoms motherboard, this is the first one ive bought, and asus is now the ONLY company i will buy a motherboard from, although, i have to admit, the chipset fan did burn out on me, although it sucks, its not that big an issue, and the onboard sound, isnt all that great, its not bad, but when u turn the volume up, you get quite a bit of interference, which you would expect from onboard sound, although i think if you got a program it could be fixed

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
SLI
MCPs | Motherboards To enable NVIDIA SLI technology in your PC, you'll need an SLI-Ready
certified motherboard with an nForce SLI MCP and two physical PCI Express
x16 slots. NVIDIA motherboard partners offer nForce SLI motherboards for
both AMD and Intel CPUs.
What is SLI Technology?
NVIDIA® SLI™ technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows
you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple
NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce® SLI
media and communications processor (MCP).
How Does SLI Technology Work?
Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic
in each NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology
delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphics solution.
Note:
The NVIDIA SLI connector is not used with some mainstream graphics
cards.
3-way SLI motherboards must have 3 PCI-E x16 slots.
NVIDIA SLI-Ready MCPs:
NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI
NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI
NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI for INTEL
NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI for INTEL
NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI for INTEL
NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI for INTEL
NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI for INTEL
NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI for AMD
NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI for AMD
