Blazing Speed

This mother board set up with the correct memory and a SSD Solid State Drive for your OS Operating System, (Windows) After updating all drivers and updates it bench-marked on the high end. Even without a video card just using the on board video that was the only thing from benching better. This is a winner. A must for the price.

Good Board

I was on a budget and this fit the bill. I've had it for 3 months and absolutely no problems. All drivers installed easily.

Nice board for the price

So far so good. I am very satisfied with this board thus far, not just for the price, but also for the performance. The only negative about this board is the 8GB RAM limit, but for the price that is expected.

Great for purpose (HTPC)

For a Linux HTPC build using XBMC - works great. Features are perfect for the application. Easy install. Called ASUS to ask some questions and they were responsive and helpful (my first build).

Works great, but sound went out in about 3 weeks

Built computer, worked great for a couple of weeks, then lost sound. Thought it was a Windows issue. Tried all the Realtek fixes, No Luck. Installed ubuntu, still no sound so guess I will buy a sound card. Too late to send back. Great value if it all worked.
