As you can see, the
board performs very well.
Conclusion
Asus has created another fantastic motherboard. It seemed like
this review was destined to last forever. I had to RMA a CPU
in the middle of the review and I lost a power supply. Neither
of these was because of the P5E3. However, the delays enabled
me to spend more time with the P5E3 and use different parts as well.
The features on this board are fantastic. It has a ton of
bells and whistles but they aren't just frivolous they are useful.
It's pretty kewl to be able to turn the computer on and surf the web
in a matter of seconds. I'm sure as this technology ages a
bit, we'll see more and more features offered. The X48 is a
very nice chipset. If you've been waiting to jump on the DDR3
bandwagon, now's the time. DDR3 prices are reasonable now and
the chipsets have matured enough to make it worthwhile. Bottom
line is the P5E3 Premium WiFi-AP @n Edition motherboard is a
fantastic board and is Club Overclocker Recommended.
