It reads and writes at 18x, uses the SATA interface and allows you to create LightScribe labels. All that being extremely quiet!

One of the first Nvidia 650i enabled motherboards came from ASUS. The P5N-E SLI offers a low cost solution to the masses that want to build either a gaming rig or overclocking powerhouse on a tight budget. With the support of SLI, ample voltage selections and ram adjustment, you get everything you will find in the P5N32-E SLI except for dual 16x PCI-e bandwidth and super huge copper cooling sinks.

From a features point of view, the M2N32-SLI Premium Vista Edition motherboard can't be beat. To go along with SLI technology, the board comes with a remote control, a 512MB USB Flash drive, the ScreenDUO PDA like device and more, this board is about the most feature-rich motherboard on the market today.

In all the Commando is a well-priced and solid motherboard with fantastic overclocking potential. Even if it doesn't provide everything you'd ever wish for from overclocking, the board's fantastic stability will more than make up for it. It's feature rich and, while it's a Republic of Gamers motherboard, it negates some of the novel extras in order to make the price more attractive. If you're looking for a solid and very overclockable board, but don't require multi-GPU support, you can't go far wrong with the Asus Commando. Whether or not it's the best P965 board out there for your own needs will come down to personal preference, though.

For business applications which demand SCSI configurations, or professional grade network cards, the Asus M2N32 WS Professional has two PCI-X slots located just below the blue PCI Express x16 slot. Each 3.3V 64 bit PCI -X slot operates at 66 MHz, which means each can support a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 250MB/s. This works out to the same as a PCI Express x1 connection, but obviously the list of supported PCI-X devices is much more substantial than PCI Express x1 devices at this point in time.

The ASUS M2A-VM is ASUS' first board using the new AMD RS690G chipset. It comes in the small MicroATX form factor and is all passively cooled. This makes the board an ideal candidate for a quiet Media PC system. The integrated VGA with DVI/Analog output has enough power to do video playback and play an occasional game.

The X1950XTX and X1950 Crossfire Edition cards are designed to work together and despite my misgivings about the Crossfire cable, the combination of a X1950 Crossfire Edition + X1900XTX or X1900XTX card work together well in both Vista and XP, delivering outstanding performance for the gaming environment.

Targeted as a gaming notebook, ASUS makes use of a GeForce Go 7700 graphics card with 512MB of dedicated RAM which makes me go "hmmm" considering the fact that the LCD on my unit has a native resolution on 1280x800. You would only need that amount of video memory when playing at resolutions of 1600x1200 and higher with Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering enabled. There is no way that the 7700 Go would be able to handle those kind of resolutions with smooth frame rates in todays games. Simply put, a 128MB or 256MB graphics card would've been more than sufficient to drive the 1280x800 LCD panel on the G1.

From a gamers point of view the AMD RADEON 1250 is the best available integrated graphics chipset on the market bar none. Modern games like Oblivion, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, Prey, and Star Trek Legacy are practically unplayable on the integrated graphics as the games require a lot of horsepower to play them well.

With a new 18x DVD writer, ASUS has joined the slim ranks of manufacturers who are finally offering SATA based DVD writers. Does having 18x DVD write speed or SATA matter in a future scripted to belong to next generation media like Blu-ray? Let's find out.

The P5N-E SLI is an impressive motherboard, offering the very best performance for the LGA775 platform along with all the essential features. The P5N-E SLI costs just $140, making it roughly $130 cheaper than the cheapest ASUS 680i SLI board (P5N32-E SLI), which we also used through our performance comparison tests.

In this review PCSTATS is testing out an Intel motherboard based on an nVidia chipset slightly older than the nForce 680i, but it's still wickedly fast. The Asus P5N32-SLI Premium is an nVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition motherboard. The nForce 590 SLI Intel Edition chipset supports all Socket 775 processors from the lowly Celeron D to the Pentium 4/D/XE and of course Intel's flagship Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme Edition CPU (FSB 533/800/1066MHz).

ASUS' latest motherboard incorporates unique features and performance for both easy DIY and stylish gaming. Sitting at the top of the company's line, the Striker Extreme is the newest member of ASUS' sought-after R.O.G series. The nForce 680i SLI-based Striker Extreme supports Intel Quad-Core processors (LGA775 package) and nVidia's Quad-SLI technology, and is even ready for the new super-speedy 1333MHz FSB specification (also supports DDR2 800/667/533MHz). A match made in heaven for gamers and tweakers, the Striker Extreme guarantees a perfect platform for smooth video and extreme performance.
