Once or twice I've been tempted to write that the DFI is the best enthusiast mainboard ever created, and in many respects it is, giving you the platform for some serious out-of-spec running, at high stability. The power circuitry has been designed with that in mind, giving you that easy high dHTT, those large voltage ranges, which paired with the plethora of options for adjusting the memory subsystem will have many frothing at the mouth. SLI works fine as expected and in terms of testing with the latest BIOS release never put a foot wrong. It also has a flexible PCI Express slot configuration that can free up plentiful bandwidth to the non-PEG16X slots in non-SLI mode.
Equipped with BIOS 1003 (and hopefully later BIOS revisions will retain the stability), the ASUS goes about its business with little fuss, pausing only to brush past pitiful Pentium 4 systems without stopping to catch its breath. Human comparisons aside, it's a quality product from ASUS that took some time to find its feet, but which stands out now.
