There are two things that make this products stand out positively against the background of other Intel X38 based solutions. Firstly, it is a relatively inexpensive product that is currently selling for $220, which is not much at all for an Intel X38 board. Secondly, this mainboard works not with the new expensive DDR3 SDRAM, but supports the much wider spread DDR2 memory, even though officially Intel is very reluctant to admit the universality of their chipset memory controller. These peculiarities may make Asus P5E a pretty wide-spread solution, very demanded among computer enthusiasts. In fact there is only one thing missing for Asus P5E to become a very popular product: our absolute confidence that it will be able to offer better performance and overclockability than the impeccable solutions on Intel P35 chipset. Actually, this is exactly what our today&rsquo;s article is about: search for Asus P5E&rsquo;s advantages that will position this mainboard above existing alternatives on the mainstream core logic sets.</a>
