Default ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI Motherboard Review

Click the image to open in full size.

Asus is everywhere and anywhere there might be a market for computer related components. This industry giant shipped out 55 million motherboards and earned over $16 billion in revenues during 2006. They followed that up in 2007 with revenue exceeding $20 billion dollars. With over 100,000 employees and an unsurpassed R&D team, its not hard to see why they are considered one of the best companies in the game.

"Honey, I shrunk the motherboard!"

LOL!!!
Great review Matt! Very well done, and once again VERY nice pictures!


Thats a pretty nice board! DVI output, 8500GT isn't to shabby either, all the connections you'd want. Yep I'd say thats a pretty nice HTPC board for someone not looking for bling, yet something small and powerful.

Great job!!

It's a 8200, not a 8500. ;D

Very nice review, dig the pics once again.
Is it possible to test the board integrated VGA performance in 3DMark06 (I know, even if it's risible)?
