ASUS - ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe WE Motherboard Review

March 29th 2004 | Hardware

Trusted Reviews has reviewed the ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe ‘Wireless Edition’, the "cream of the crop of Socket-A motherboards":

As with many other boards the A7N8X-E is based on the nVidia nForce2 chipset and Asus is using the Ultra 400 flavour as well as the MCP-T. This means that there is support for the Athlon XP 3200+ and PC3200 memory. The MCP-T adds integrated 10/100Mbit Ethernet, Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sound and FireWire to the more common features such as USB 2.0. Asus has taken advantage of all of the integrated features in the chipset and thrown in a few more for good measures. There’s a Silicon Image S-ATA RAID controller with support for two S-ATA drives, a Marvell Gigabit Ethernet controller and to top it all off, an Asus 802.11b WiFi card.

…Even if you don’t use half of the features that the A7N8X-E sports, it’s still a first class motherboard and if you want to save some money there is even a cheaper version available without the WiFi@home card. The A7N8X-E is truly the best Socket-A motherboard I have seen and I think you’ll have a hard time finding a better performer with more features for this kind of money.

The Asus A7N8X-E Wireless Edition is truly the cream of the crop of Socket-A motherboards and it won’t cost you a fortune either.
