Fantastic motherboard!

Strengths: Stable, powerful, good price, dual GigaBit LAN, dual-core support, and SATA as IDE.

Weakness: Heat.

For the most part this is a fantastic motherboard. I had no problems installing it and adding components to it. I really like the feature where SATA drives can appear to be IDE drives. That features helps a lot when installing Windows being that you don't have to specify additional drivers for those drives. Having a dual-core processor helps a lot with the amount of stress I put on it. Also...

good MB so far

Strengths: Great features and good price

Weakness: over heat and some problems with sound card

It is a great MB and if you know what you are doing you can get plenty more from it but you have to try to control the CPU heat but for that, as is expected, now you can buy some good fans that will reduce this some 20 C that will help wen you try to do multi task especially when you like to edit videos wile you chat or surf the internet. And wen you install windows XP media center edition it...

Asus P5WD2 Premium Motherboard a pain to install!

Strengths: Fantastic feature set (DDR2, Firewire, 2-GigaBit LAN, PCI-E, USB2, SATA, RAID, IDE, etc)!

Weakness: Poor install documentation! Lame technical support! StackCool2 does nothing (for me)!

I have had this for about a month now, and am very happy with its performance, with one exception! The CPU core temperature is outrageous, much worse than what I had in my P5P800 MB. Same CPU, different MB, but about +20 degrees C higher! Heck, the specs on the MB state there is a StackCool2 on the back of the motherboard which is supposed to dissipate 20 degrees C by itself! Ha! I was also...

Dead out of the box... or was it?

Strengths: Powerful board at a competitive price

Weakness: Terrible documentation Terrible tech support

Bought this board about a week ago with a brand new processor and memory. Got everything assembled and it would just boot to the white splash screen, try to detect the hard drive, then sit for a few seconds and reboot over and over. Since there are no troubleshooting tips in the manual or any sort of knowledgebase online, I called tech support. After a very long wait, the support guy said "Oh...

Asus P5WD2 Premium Desktop Motherboard - Intel 955X...

Strengths: Accessable and User-Friendly OC features

Weakness: Quirky operation and compatability issues when pushing high-end of capabilities.

Beware of the fine print of what options or features are compatable with eachother. Yes this mobo has 6 SATA2 ports, but they only run in SATA1 if you want to use them in a RAID. Also if using a RAID the external SATA2 port is not available. The other big issue I have is that the product specs say that I can use sdram DDR2 up to 1066 FSB, but failed to note that this number is attainable only if...

Good Mobo

Strengths: Stable

Weakness: PCI slot location

Everything in this board works just fine, I do not overclock it too much, just 10%, but no problem with that. Only one thing I don't like - location of a PCI slot righ next to PCI-E one - if you have 2-slot video you loosing it. I'd rather loose PCI-E x1 slot, since periferals are almost non-existent. So, if you have more than 2 PCI cards to install and 2-slot video you might consider nvidia SLI...
