Earlier this year, ASUS announced their new enthusiast motherboard line, aimed at gamers and modders. Dubbed 'Republic of Gamers', the series will compete directly with Abit's Fatal1ty and DFI's LANParty products. PC Perspective took a look at the first member of the new product line, the ASUS Crosshair. Is the Crosshair just a gimmicky factory modded M2N32-SLI DeLuxe? Read the article and find out.

Hot damn! Makes me want to can the Conroe and just get an AMD.

Wow...the RAW number of OC capabilities in the BIOS is daunting!

I think their options might exceed DFI's offerings in-BIOS. They bundled a full version of 3DMark06 in there, plus Kapersky anti-virus...Also, they put in LEDs in the board, and they backlighted the I/O shield

Oh my god I think I'm in love.

There were so many things I liked that I've forgotten most of them but one thing I can think of is the audio riser card, my AMD X2 4400+ system's DFI RDX-200 CF-DR mobo has a similar thing and it works great because of the nature of it being a riser card and not integrated onto the mobo it reduces alot of background static/hiss associated with onboard audio solutions which gives me one less reason to get any PCI sound card at all.

Wow, I also like those blue LEDs all around the mobo with a button to turn them off! lol, and the rear connections being backlit, that's just too much, Asus has really outdone themselves this time.

One hell of a nice looking board and nice BIOS options for overclocking...........sigh............but can you do 3.60ghz+ out of a 2.20ghz or 2.40ghz CPU?

Namrac · Aug 16, 2006

DFI better step it up with the AM2 LanParty... or price it decent.

Looks like my next rig is going to be AM2 RoG X2 something or other.

I'd like to thank Asus for making this decision for me.
