Pros: ASUS Honors 2yr WARRANTY (fan failure) RUNS WELL WITH UBUNTU 7.04
from Shopping.com
Pros: good baord worked well Cons: had it for two yrs then it freid. the south bridge chip smoked for no reason i kept it clean too but it just happend Other Thoughts: went with DFI after the asus board
from Newegg.com
Pros: Great when works Cons: Had to send the board back 3 times now. 1st one had for 4 months before it would no longer post. Sent board back ASUS gave me the exact same board back with the exact same problem. Sent that one in and they took 2 months to send me a replacement.

this mobo is awesome i have an amd athlon 64x2 dual core proc and i gotta tell you it rocks i see only 1 flaw the south bridge fan is VERY cheap and it died on me after almost a year of use and it screwed up my mobo but thank god asus has a standard 3 year warranty
this mobo is good if your a gamer, but if u just want to check you email and play tetris go buy a pre-made e-machines

i have tried the a8n32 and the a8n premium with very little success. in fact, the a8n32 was a total waste of time not to mention the heat it generates. the a8n-sli deluxe has proven to be a no hassle, easy overclockable, minimal heat motherboard. i highly reccommend this board.

As far as the pci-e being 8x in sli, don't no if that is really a con since it is in the board specifications. If you are not running sli and only are interested in minor oc'ing, this is the board for you. As always, New Egg was awsome, and ASUS is the best.

Comes fully loaded with all the stuff that you could possibly need. Have had very little problems with it. That and asus support is some of the best support I have ever experienced. Short waiting times and operators that know what they are doing Cons: When upgrading to dual core I experienced a corrupted bios chip and the chipset fan also broke.
from Newegg.com
Cons: The second board I bought was an out-of-box failure. The chipset fan sounded like a WWII fighter plane taking off. Other Thoughts: I've have two out-of-box mobo failures and one out-of-box dvd burner failure from ASUS, all within two weeks. Beware - ASUS QC is not what it was in the past.
from Newegg.com
with proper chipset cooling can run HTT stable @320. Cons: This board was released before it was ready and abandoned, the fixes were made and then re-released as the premium(imho). Asus would never admit that. Other Thoughts: There were apparently compatabillity issues with the Antec Neo PSU's, however I've used a Neo480 for over a year, when that went out Antec replaced it with a NeoHE500, they assured me the issue was fixed, 2 months now and no issues, this is still a great boardASUS should call it back and replace with the Premium for all of us.
from Newegg.com
AGAIN!Other Thoughts: I am in constant fear that I will wake up with a case full of melted goo since the first fan failure. The second failure has it where I have to turn it off when I leave the room...bleh! I will never purchase another Asus motherboard in my lifetime. I have had several problems with the Asus mobos lately.
