A fantastic motherboard. Very easy to set up and the board is well laid out. Shipped with with IDE, floppy and 2 SATA cables, as well as a good, easy to follow manual, driver CD, back plate and extra usb connectors. After 7 months of intensive use I havent come across a single complaint - the board is very stable and massively upgradeable, providing support for 800MHz FSB P4, DDR400, AGP8x plenty of USB 2.0 slots etc etc.. I currently have this board ... ...SATA 240gb drive and 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro.

Advantages: Awesome cheap motherboard supporting the Prescott processor Disadvantages: Actually only has 3 ram slots without dual channeling
...is trickey, as the entire asus team seems not to be able to speak proper English.

Amazon seem to be the only place to stock them, that or ebay!
If you have a P4 processor (socket 478) then look no further. ...
