ASUS has done it again with their P5E3 Premium WiFi-AP@n motherboard. The board features everything you could possibly want from a new motherboard today including DDR3 support, external SATA support, Crossfire support, and saves energy while delivering the features and performance you want from a new motherboard. The P5E3 Premium WiFi-AP@n board has a high price online but you get what you pay for when paying that price. Performance is in line with the P5E3 Deluxe board which uses the same chipset but has similar performance though the other board has with the exception of Sysmark 2007 Preview. One important consideration with new motherboards is the official support of the 45 nanometer 1600MHz FSB Yorkfield CPUs and the P5E3 Premium supports those new CPUs which gives a nice upgrade path, as older CPUs will work as well. If you want the fastest available board on the market today the X48 chipset is the one to beat unless you intend to run Skulltrail or run SLI video cards in which case you’re not looking to buy this motherboard. ASUS motherboards tend to have a premium put on the price of the board due to the extra features and performance of the boards and this board is excellent for its intended purpose and audience. |
