Pros: • Great feature set w/o SLI, if you don't need it • Easy to set up including hardware and BIOS • It's very fast and stable
Cons: • None
Overall Review: I'm not an overclocker or gamer. I need a fast, stable i7 board for video editing. This one is perfect because I want a high-quality component without the added cost of SLI. I had no problems assembling the machine (every part is new). It posted on the first try. After a few BIOS tweaks, Vista Ultimate 64-Bit installed perfectly. I’ve also run Windows 7 RC 64-Bit using the Asus chipset drivers for the P6T Deluxe V2. They worked great. One more thought: I hate it when people bang a perfectly good product because they failed to find and/or read the specs before buying. You can easily find the specs for this MB on Google, and Newegg is under no obligation to list all the features it *doesn’t* come with. This MB delivers EXACTLY what it promises and thus deserves 5 eggs. • Intel Core i7 920 • ASUS P6T SE • Scythe Mugen-2 CPU Cooler • Corsair XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 SDRAM (8-8-8-24) • Sapphire 100248L Radeon HD 3850 512MB • WD Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB • Vista Ulti
