A8V-E SE reviews
I haven't been able to find any formal reviews online for the fairly new A8V-E SE mobo: http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?m...l2=15&l3 =143 I understand that it does a better job with dual-core CPUs than the older A8V Deluxe (which is still a great board IMHO). The A8V-E SE has PCI-E, too. If you've tested or installed this motherboard yourself, what is your opinion of it? |

I eventually gave up looking for reviews, buying the board on a whim. I understand that it does a better job with dual-core CPUs than the older A8V Deluxe (which is still a great board IMHO). I have the single-core AMD64 3700+ "San Diego". If you've tested or installed this motherboard yourself, what is your opinion of it? I bought a new system with the A8V-E SE with 2x512MB DDR333 memory about six weeks ago. I installed Kubuntu 5.10 for and it's been 100% usable and stable for both the 32- and 64-bit installations. The SATA adapter works (80GB Seagate 7200.8), the PATA adapter works (LiteOn DVD-RW/CD-RW), the USB ports work, and the gigabit Ethernet works. It's the first board I've owned where the on-board (stereo) sound is actually good, so my soundblaster now resides in its original box. On the neutral side, I haven't tried SATA "RAID", DDR400 memory, 8-channel or S/PDIF audio, the parallel or game port, or any overclocking. On the negative side, it has only two SATA devices and supports only 4GB RAM. I like the AV8-E SE. |
