I would like to get this mobo but it is not a true PCI 16X, the owner of this mobo say it is 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 support, at full x16 or dual x8 link so I will keep on looking. if you see 2 different color PCI 16X slots it means 1 is 16X the other is 8X

One had to flash the bios as soon as I got it. Relatively nice board I'd say, to be honest the onboard graphics wasn't too bad for being onboard. The main reason for the performance score is the fact it was acting really flakey for me when trying to put a fresh copy of 7pro. Not 100% sure if it was the mobo or the os but something was flaking out. Its running great right now so i'm pretty satisfied.

Not what a high gamer will want with its built in graphics, but handles everything else you could want. Comes with all the essentials for a great system with the ability to add on. With quad core AMD my system screams. As with all ASUS MOBOs assembly and installation was a breeze.

Every component went together nicely on this build. This was largely due to this mobo. In past builds I have had similar problems with these boards as Lee has expressed. If you haven't already tried it just reset the RTC by moving the jumper to pins 2 and 3 then back as recommended. Access the BIOS after POST, and adjust the clock time and date settings to the current time and date then boot as normal. Something to try before you go through the hassle of shipping the board back to TD.
Before you buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this memory. For example, DDR Memory won't work with motherboards designed for only DDR2, SDRAM or RDRAM memory, and vice versa. Only use the memory speed recommended by your motherboard's manufacturer. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.
Upgrading Your Memory to Improve Performance
As programs get more complex, you’ll discover that your trusty PC may not
be working as quickly or efficiently as it used to. While your impulse might
be to purchase a new, more powerful computer, you can dramatically improve
performance simply by upgrading your memory. For far less than what you’d
pay for a new computer, a memory upgrade will often have your PC working
faster and more efficiently than ever before. Plus, it’s relatively easy
to install new memory and only takes a few minutes of your time. For our
step-by-step guide to simple memory installation click here.

Understanding
Computer Memory
Because memory is such a crucial element of our computer's performance,
we all understand that we need it in generous supply. However, questions
remain about what kind of memory is best, what functions each memory serves
and which memory is used for notebooks and PCs.
Click Here for more information
that will answer your many of your questions.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
* The above
values are for physical, not usable memory.
