[AM2] Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe

Not sure if I like the layout so much. ATX12V is all the way down by the middle of the board, good for P180/TJ07 users, but for those with more conventional cases, it might be a pain for wire management. The CPU socket orientation also means a lot of tower heatsinks (like the AC Freezer64 Pro) will be blowing hot air into the power supply, possibly increasing noise output. The onboard wireless is pretty cool.

Agree, the ATX12V could be a problem.
What annoys me more is that there is only one IDE slot, there is still a lot of people, like me, that use two IDE CD/DVD/Burner and one or two IDE Harddrives.

wonder if the pro version seen at cebit is still around. . .

PCI-X and some of the layout is a tad better. (like the SATA not being right in front of the second PCI-E x16 slot for example.)


We'll wait and see I guess.

There are a couple of other AM2 mobos coming from ASUS including a ATI Crossfire one.
