Asus M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe

Nevertheless, ASUS does not complain about the lack of attention to this motherboard. Most users consider buying this model (and other similar products) for computers that can be upgraded in future. We are to thank the AMD platform here, because Socket AM2+ will also support processors for Socket AM3. And time will tell you whether to install three graphics cards or only two.

We simply couldn’t find any negative point on this motherboard. If you are looking for a high-end motherboard for your AMD system supporting SLI including 3-way SLI this is definitely the motherboard you should buy.

The ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe Motherboard is extremely rough around the edges. For a board that promises so much, the performance leaves a great deal to be desired. We tried using several different BIOS versions (which set our review back a week), without much better success. Hopefully the issues are superficial, and will work themselves out over the coming weeks in BIOS updates. The 780a SLI chipset brings some great, new features to the scene. At a time when the trend is to use more power, Hybrid SLI arrives to help users tame their energy consumption. Also, giving the AMD crowd another platform is always welcome and is sure to meet the needs of the some users. If you own or are planning to build a system using AMD's Phenom chip, the M3N-HT is worth considering.

Asus definitely provided rich packet that should satisfy everyone’s taste. You can build complete office system using this motherboard. Enthusiasts can even use this motherboard for achieving respectable overclocking results thanks to rich BIOS options that Asus M3N-HT Deluxe offers or you can create very usable internet box (access terminal) and hard disc isn’t required. If we take into account expected price for this motherboard (around 230€) we couldn’t say that this is perfect solution for office or internet café rig. Conclusion imposes itself: Asus M3N-HT Deluxe is, so far, the best all-around motherboard.

The NVIDIA nForce 7 series shows the world that NVIDIA is finally back on the AMD side of things. More importantly, it shows what is coming out in Q3 for the Intel platforms and we can only assume that any issues with Hybrid technology will be perfected before the Intel series comes out.
