    Duration of ownership: 2 Months

    Strengths: Fabulous MB, fast, stable, tons of features, geared to future computing

    Weaknesses:Price, price, price, but "you get what you pay for"

    Overall Evaluation: I have used Asus (and some other) motherboards for several years now and this is the best by far I have ever experienced. You get all kinds of features and performance, but at a fairly steep price. The P5E3 can handle whatever you throw at it. Since it is DDR3 it is fast. But right now this memory is also very expensive. The board is very stable even with overclocking (which the BIOS provides numerous options for). You can even surf the internet or connect through Skype via a BIOS mini OS on bootup, prior to going into the main OS. It has plenty of "extras" such as 2 wired and wireless n networks, multiple internal/external SATA/Firewire/USB ports, 7.1 HD audio, Crossfire etc. Computer magazines use this board for testing components when they come out since it is so stable. The only thing I had to do was update the BIOS for the new Intel CPUs prior to use, otherwise it was easy to set up. If you can afford it, this has got to be one of the best boards on the market right now and for the near future.
