This motherboard is probably one of the most reasonable AM3's out there. It provides all the features you need at an affordable price. As long as you don't need 3-way Crossfire, this is an excellent choice for the step up to AM3.
GREAT MOBO

Easy to install and the instuction booklet was very vague. I have experience with computer so it was simple. The manual is a basic one for all ASUS motherboards and some things are not covered in it. Other than that it runs great!
Great motherboard

The ASUS M4A78T-E is great. The Drivers CD is loaded with great programs for over clocking and general maintenance. The included Express Gate OS is very simple and very convenient. The only issue I had is that the RAM spaces are a little close to the motherboard. Choose between 4 RAM cards and a small CPU cooler or two RAM cards and a big CPU cooler..
Full-featured and bonus features!

Used this motherboard in an AMD Phenom II X4 build along with an ultra 750 psu and cooler master centurion 5 case. Awesome mobo - no troubles. The extra case fan connectors on the board make cable management a breeze and the ASUS Express Gate software is very cool - it allow you to bypass whatever OS you have and go directly to the web at boot time in about 3 seconds.
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.
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.
The amount of
