| I've been running this board for about 18 months now trouble free. My initial system was XP Pro. I just upgraded to Win 7 Pro. The only hitch is that it tries to boot off of the IDE drive instead of the SATA drive and fails to boot. Minor glitch to work out. The board is sound and was a good investment. |

| I have two of these, one running WinXP and the other FreeBSD 7. Both freeze up after a couple of days of running. I have tried changing bios settings but nothing helps. I will see the screen repeating ''disc not found'' messages on both machines. It appears that the motherboard reboots itself randomly and can't resume. |

| Bought it in a bare-bones it. It all went pretty smooth, the only thing I can think to complain about is the audio jacks are a little close to the pci-e slot, so when seating my 9800gt in there the heat sink bumped into the audio jacks. I gently pushed the audio jacks aside and problem solved. For the price it is hard to complain. |

| Great motherboard thus far. However, you will have to reset the RTC Ram on the board after installing it. If not, you will most likely end up with a blank screen once you power the PC. Also, keep in mind that the on-board video card will eat up a percentage of your ram, so do not be alarmed when you see you do not have say, a full 2Gs of ram when checking the PC properties.
Thanks TIger for a great deal! |

| Good overall board though one issue. I could only have one DIMM of RAM in at a time. It could be either DIMM but it would only work with one stick of RAM at a time. I tried different RAM with the same results. I contacted the Ultra tech support, told him what was going on and less then 5 min I had a ticket number from them to refrence with Tiger for a return/exchange. Overall, good experiance, minor headache. Hella cheap too! |

| This board is an excellent vaulue for the price.
Equiped with many features. Update the bios when it arrives and you will have zero problems. I would recommend a nice Mini ATX case for it.
The onboard video is good for basic use. If you intend to play games I would suggest purchasing a graphics card with its own seperate memory.
The Onboard video uses 256mb of shared ram and slows your system down for gameplay. Most boards dont come with video so still a great buy. Just disable it if you add your own video card. |

| I have 3 of these, my first replaced an emachine board. I used one 2gig module and it worked perfectly. I bought two more, one with another 2 gig module and the last with 2 2gig modules. the last one wouldn't start at times so I took out the small round battery and put in a new one. after that all worked great. I now have three of these boards and they all work great. the oldest one is one year old. I have never had a serious problem with asus and still have 3 400 mhz asus boards that work. |

| Really nice board for the money. yes, I had the problem where no video on POST, but just reset the CMOS/RTS (unplug, remove the battery, move the CMOS jumper over for 10 seconds, then move back, put back in battery0, then everything was fine. No problems since then, and it tests out fine. Works well with AMD 5000 processor, XFX 9800 GT video, and whatever RAM Tiger sent me as part of the barebones kit. I'm very happy, and would buy the MOBO again. |

| Bought this as part of a Barebones kit w/ 2.6 Ghz CPU, 2 Gig RAM, etc. Although fans and DVD drive started on initial startup after build, I got nothing on the monitor. After reading several reviews here I decided to try it w/ 1 memory stick instead of 2. Computer immediately fired up, so flashed BIOS to 0602 with no improvement. Reset CMOS per MB Manual (with both sticks of memory installed), now it fires up with both sticks of memory in. Don't think the BIOS update was worth the time, CMOS reset seemed to fix the problem. It's also the less dangerous of the two procedures. |

| Motherboard failed to boot once everything was installed. No POST or beep from the BIOS. Read on ASUS' site and other forums that there were memory configuration issues. Deduced the problem to having both memory modules installed at the same time (2x1GB Kingston). Either slot would work if only one module was installed. Cleared CMOS again waiting longer during CMOS clear (1 minute instead of 10 seconds) and also had both modules in during CMOS clear, system booted up fine. I think clearing the CMOS with BOTH modules installed was the fix. Alot of time wasted troubleshooting this board.

Reset the cmos with the jumpers as described in the manual and everthing works great now! Quick boot time and fast transfers between computers.

| I got this board in the store front location in Orlando Florida.
Only got it cause they didnt have the MSI board i wanted in stock.
I build computers for freinds and co workers and have found that the asus boards are like playing russian rulette.This board is no different.
I suggest if you buy one do a burn in test for 2 to three days so if it fails you can return it within the 30 day period.
I had vid/aud/ram problems as others did (even with bios update)
Took it back and ordered the MSI board i origionally wanted.
NOTE TO ASUS:Ya might want to look into your quality controll. |

Spent 90 minutes with ASUS techs determining that it was dead (plus all the on-hold time waiting to get to them). Finally just shipped it back and ordered a Biostar board.

| Should have checked to see how many SATA connections it had before purchasing. It only has two which my hard drive and DVD burner connect to. It isn't a problem as long as I don't want to hookup an additional HD or CD/DVD. Also, the monitor didn't work when I initially connected it to the motherboard but I popped out the battery to reset it and everything worked fine. Overall a good product for the money but not state of the art. |

| You will have to reset your CMOS when you first set it up, but the process is simple and only takes a few seconds. Rest of the board install was standard.
Overall, excellent board. With the new BIOS revisions this board will support any processor less than 100 watts. This means the 95 watt quad core phenoms or dual core 6000+. You'll need to flash the bios first tho, which probably means starting with a smaller CPU.
Be aware that there are only 2 standard PCI slots, so keep your upgrades in mind if you buy it. |

| Great motherboard, but I ran into serious issues when upgrading to XP SP2. I purchased the motherboard to replace a failed board in my eMachines Celeron PC. I used my eMachines restore disks to get back up and running. At first the USB ports only functioned as 1.0, but I was able to manually install the 2.0 drivers to correct the problem. I then ran through a series of Windows updates. All went well until I upgraded to SP2. I got a blue screen and PC would only boot in safe mode. Two calls to ASUS didn't help and they didn't return my call. By searching the web, I was able to determine that the problem was caused by restoring an image created on a PC with an Intel processor to an AMD machine. One quick registry edit solved the problem, but it caused me several hours of grief until I found the solution. That's what happens when manufacturers give you restore disks instead of XP disks! Again, this wasn't a problem of the motherboard, just a software issue. My PC screams now! |

| Buyer Beware. First of all the board is so generic that the BIOS on it isn't even labeled, or numbered, so good luck updating it. The book says American Megatrends but my board shows no info on the BIOS screen to identify it. Oh yes, the user's manual is GENERIC, it does not even have the motherboards name or part number on it! -There's no way to set voltage, and the *nice* OCZ 6400 Plat Rev.2 memory that came with it limps. And then on top of it all, I find out that the board has a notorious bad memory slot problem, after I test and test and find my memory is good and either stick runs but not both. And the board has only 2 slots... I do not want a sorry excuse replacement mobo to run the other decent parts in the bundle I bought. I'm going to have to spend whatever it takes to do it right. I've never been so overall disappointed in a Tiger bundle in the 11 years I've been ordering from them. |

| This was part of the BAAREBONES KIT that was recently being offered with the 4400+ and 1 GB of 533 Crucial DDR2. I put 2 x 1 GB Corsair DDR2 667 Sticks. The RAM read/write speed exceeds 5000. On assembly, the system simply booted up and my pre-insatalled XP MCE and found all the Motherboard drivers, which are Nvidia Nforce 430 MCP, same as the Biostar NF61S (uses basically the same driver). The BIG DIFFERENCE here is that the Asus MN2-MX SE has a Full 16x PCIe slot whereas the Biostar NF61S only has an 8x Vlink,
The ATI 2400HD/256 MB PCIe video card actually RUNS at 16x here... it is not as fast as a Geforece 8800, but what do ya want for a 40-dollar video card? And it Overclocks up to 580 MHz (425 MHz is common GPU Bus Speed). I hope there is a F/W revision soon, there are just a couple of memory settings I'd like to see in the BIOS, but it is a GOOD little microboard. The ONLY problem is that without RAM Heatsinks, they get HOT, and I had 1 Corsair stick fry, when I had OC'd to 5% |

| Id have to say overall this is a nice low buck board with a few problems. Bios HAS to be updated. Board will not see 2nd memory stick if you dont.
Overall good quality, runs smooth. Very few features..dont even think about overclocking with this board.
Good buy for budget system with pcie, not too great for higher end graphics. |

| Not a lot of overclocking features, and it is a rather small board. That being said this thing rocks my socks. If you need something to get a dual core system off the ground i would suggest this. Not a good board for someone with tons of peripherals. |

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware. |
