ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe - ASUS comes out swinging with their latest NVIDIA chipset based AMD offering, the M3N-HT Deluxe. Based on the AMD version of the NVIDIA nForce 780a chipset, the board packs a lot of promise.
It is simply hard to get excited about this product as it seems obvious that ASUS is not too excited about it. I mean the damn motherboards BIOS does not even work right with overclocking Phenom processors, if you can get it to POST with one, which might be a real concern for someone sitting around with only one Phenom processor that would fit into the board. As for the fancy cooling; first sell me the basics that actually work, then we can worry about putting heatpipes on our memory. We may or may not give this motherboard another look when we get a new BIOS in, but quite frankly, it just is not that exciting given the state of the Phenom is no better than it was at launch for the enthusiast.
