Hi-def audio, standard front panel audio header, 8 USB ports, etc. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: If you want optical & coaxial SPDIF output, ASUS will sell you the required connector directly for some reasonable price (<$15, I believe). Nice policy compared to some vendors that really ream you on accessories! from Newegg.com Pros: If you are looking for a DDR mobo with int. graphics and nice features this is for you, if you can't find anything elseCons: Myself and about 100 other people on the asus forum could not get the mobo to install winXP on a SATA harddrive. Tech support seems to have no good advice for us, I called them and they gave me advice I already knew. from Newegg.com Cons: Suffers from bizzare slowdowns when using the full 2gb of ram (with "certain" PCIe cards)!! Beware! This is most likely a BIOS problem, but Asus hasn't seemed too interested in fixing it. Other Thoughts: The machine will run for an hour or so, then become bogged down and slow. from Newegg.com Try all SATA already, no luck. Other Thoughts: I'm unlucky person this time. It's my first time to have a ASUS motherboard which has trouble. from Newegg.com very small, simple, and light. Cons: NO BIGGIE BUT-->>>--The only flaw I could find in this board is that it doesn't have the drivers already on it for SATA drives. Go to ASUS and download the uli raid drivers. make disk and hit F6 when installing windows... from Newegg.com Current BIOS does not allow you to disable the RAID function without taking SATA with it. You must create SATA driver disc prior to windows install. Other Thoughts: Used the ASUS forum to find solution to SATA/RAID issues. Very happy now - newegg rules! from Newegg.com Pros: PCI-E, easy overclocking, sata 1.5, presler 930 support out of the box (no bios flash). X200 is nice, ASUS is quality. Cons: Not owning floppy drives/disks, I had to slipstream the ULI M1573 drivers to get XP to install directly onto a RAID. from Newegg.com Pros: its asus, has 3 year warranty, pci-E, good for ultra ata hard drives but not sataCons: This motherbord is a pain. the drivers arnt the greatist. from Newegg.com Other Thoughts: No problems, except the Q-fan. Works. I dislike the ASUS bios setup, but whatever. Overclocking is a breeze. from Newegg.com Cons: Only 2 Dimm slots. RAM is snug with heatspreaders. Other Thoughts: Originally got Asus P5GD1 but returned it when it gave me fits. Running a pentium 4-660 and 2gb corsair xms as a firewall module in a warm telco closet. from Newegg.com
