| rbr28's Full Review: ASUS P4C800-E DELUX Motherboard |
If you are like me you probably researched Intel 875 boards to death and were scared by all the negative comments and reports of problems. I took a chance on this Asus board, and as usual with Asus, I was not disappointed. If you are skilled (not a beginner), Asus makes the best boards out there and this board is no exception. The board is incredibly stable, very over-clockable, has the best (most configurable) bios I have ever seen, and is packed with useful features. I had no trouble setting up this board and running it with 1GB of PC3200 memory in dual channel mode. I have benchmarks up with this board on my website. Check out

All the problems that I saw mentioned in other reviews seem to have been worked out on the board I received. My guess is that most people didn't know what they were doing, or they had very early revisions of the board. This board has worked flawlessly and I would definitely purchase it again.
