Faster Access, Bigger Storage Intel® Smart Response Technology boosts overall system performance. It uses an installed fast SSD (min 18.6GB available) as a cache for frequently accessed operations, speeding up hard drive/main memory interaction. Key benefits are expedited hard drive speeds, reduced load and wait times and maximized storage utilization. Power consumption also goes down by reducing unnecessary hard drive spin, an important part of Green ASUS eco-friendly computing.

Impressed
Excellent board for the money. Running an i5-2500K with 8gig of ram on Win7 Home Premium 64bit flawlessly. I suggest the guy that said it doesn't support Win7 get someone who knows what their doing to help him out.

Tho ''Frequently Bought Together'' (above) says people buy Windows 7 with this motherboard, be aware that it only supports XP - you know, that operating system that's 10 years old!

Very satisfied
My first time purchasing an enthusiast MoBo (for myself), and all I can say is that this board has met and exceeded my expectations. The service was timely and reliable as usual, and the motherboard has been running perfectly for the month that I've had it. Possible the best Z68 board out there.
