Reliable, Expandable, and Easy to install the Asus A8N-VM CSM has been nothing short of a pleasure to own. The onboard NVIDIA 6150 graphics have been by far the best onboard graphics I have seen to date. Additionally, I have been happy with the performance and easy availability of drivers for this product via Forceware and nforce upgrades via www.nvidia.com. The AMD Cool and Quiet function in addition to the added Asus Q-fan function has kept my processor running smooth and CPU fan quiet (Note you must download the AMD processor driver www.amd.com and set the power savings mode under windows XP to “minimal power management” for these functions to enable). Additionally, because the PCIx graphics card port is the first slot on the mother board followed by the PCI slots this board does work in many HTPC or Media Center style cases that require a riser card. The board does feature a S/Pdif out plug (requires purchase of an adaptor, check eBay) allowing digital audio output to an AV

Installation was relatively easy. Performance and stability is good. The integrated video is not the fastest, but more than sufficient for non-serious gamers. I would recommend at least 1 GB RAM due to onboard video have UMA. The difficult part was getting the audio connection right, as the connector is just a bunch of individual connectors instead of a nice unified connector.
