 Over Priced September 29, 2007
P5B is overpriced as it lakes dual LAN, Firewire and internal RAID (it supports RAID 0 & 1 via one internal and external SATA disk), BIOS needs to be updated in order to support Intel Quad Core. It may worth to review these motherboards first (Asus P5KC, Intel DP35DP, Asus P5KE/WIFIAP)
BIOS is the bad thing in this motherboard May 14, 2007

ASUS is one of the most reputable firms making Motherboards and other products, and i know this because my old pc (Pentium 4) have an asus motherboard and with more than five years on hard use the Asus is in Flawless condition. Recently i configure a top of the line PC with this motherboard, but the motherboard have some limitations: 1- The first is the memory, forget the "up to 8 GB memory slogan", if you are runing Windows XP asus only recommend up to 3 GB of DDR2 memory installed. 2- The Bios is the second tackler, if you have a recent Intel Based Proccesor -like Core 2 Duo i have- you need to Update the Bios for take advantege to your CPU, but if you dont know how to install the Bios the system become in a oermanent state of "coma" and you need to JUMP the motherboard. 3- The last Thing is: DONT INSTALL THE PC PROBE software for monitor your computer hardware tasks, this program give you WRONGS values of your cpu. The CPU works fine, but if you are going to configure a HIGH END PC (like i try to do) dont purchase this model of the ASUS motherboards, better buy the ASUS DELUXE edition.-

I installed this board about 3 weeks ago. I was running XP on it until I got my Vista this week. I haven't had any problems with it. BIOS is easy to tweak and it overclocks wonderfully. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it doesn't support firewire.
Good P965 Chipset Motherboard January 24, 2007

Although I've only owned and used this motherboard for a few weeks, it definitely seems to be a good performer. Although it's missing some features of it's more expensive brethren (the P5B-E, Deluxe, etc), it's a good overclocker, has good expansion ability and seems to be compatible with some finicky RAM that I have.
