Recommend ASUS Board for vista x64 with 4G of RAM

[tommiy]

Does anyone have a recommendation here? I don;t require an extreme MB with all the gadgets just a nice reliable run of the mill mb that will run vista x64 with 4g of ram properly.

Before anyone asks why ASUS well because in the past they have been reliable for me. I ventured into a gigabyte board when vista came out and have regretted it in time and money ever since. See one of my other threads but the short answer is I want to stay with ASUS...even if it costs me more...I want something that works.

Thanks

I'm an Asus fan for the same reason. Eight boards over 4 years with no
serious issues and zero failures.

Do you have a processor preference (AMD 64 X2, Intel Core 2 Duo, etc)?

i'm using the (p5n-e sli) board and it seems to
be fine for me . the only thing i found out is
D O N ' T update your (bios) cause the one online
is a (beta). with the beta for some reason you can't
use 4gig unless you install with 2gig and then add the
other 2gig? but i went back to the shiped bios and
the install was fine with 4gig . also if your a overclocker
this board rocks ... i'm using the intel e6320 (1.86) and
some pny 667 memory and this thing lets me boost it up from
1.86 to 3.30 with stock fan and no trouble at all.i got the
board at newegg.com if you want one . also i'm using vista 64bit
home pre.

sorry should have said I have a intel 6420.

Yes my first venture away from asus in 10+ years to gigabyte was a disaster....completely. All the time with asus I never had a issue or even a problem that I had to contact them over or even had a single failure. Time to return wasted enough trying something else....
