 Electronics : Asus P5N-E SLI Quad-Core nForce650i SLI ATX Motherboard |

Rating:  - Excellent motherboard for the money
I got this motherboard for my new mob, I already got a Gigabyte DQ6.
My gigabyte is much better of course but it costs almost double, anyway if you're not a pipe cooling fan this one will be okay.
Very good overclocker and very good support for Nvidia based graphic cards, but SLI will be only on 8x but I think there's no real difference in performance.
I installed it and it was running from the first time, very easy to configure and install drivers.
Would definitely recommand this motherboard.
Rating:  - This isn't for Dual Graphics Cards, It only supports 2 cards at 8x each not 16x each.
The board is great for one graphics card, and it supports one card at 16x. I am using an 8800gts and they work well together. The problem was when I found out this board only supports dual graphics cards at 8x each for a max of 16x. I know that the next step above this board is about $40 more and it can support dual graphics cards at 16x each.
--I would rate it a 5 if for single card, but I can't believe they would even make a dual graphics card option with less than 16x each because you know anyone doing that will want the best. :)
I am not going to go that far, and if I was I would simply get a new Mobo along with the second card.
-Good luck to ya all
Rating: - Good Board; Beware of low latency Ram
Overall this is a good value board. As a new system builder I had no problem getting this board installed and running. My only problem came with memory compatibility. After several days of suffering through blue screens that prevented me from even getting a clean Windows install I switched out the pair of Corsair 2GB 240 DIMM non-ECC DDR2 RAM (TWIN2X2048-6400C4) Dimms with some plain jane Kingston PC6400's and everything ran smoothly the first time. I talked to one of the guys at frys and he indicated that he had talked to at least one other person who had the exact same problem with low-latency ram on this motherboard.
Rating: - Great deal!
The board was exactly as showed and it works fine with the P4 531, DDR533 and 7600GT, now my friend can upgrade to Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, add DDR800 or dual VGA, i've many options
The box seems used, but components inside were new.
Rating:  - Buyer Beware
If you want to use this board for SATA RAID beware that it is not easy if not impossible I returned mine for the Intel Chipset and haven't had problems since
