Asus CUBX

Pros: Stable, IDE Raid, Ease of install
Cons: I had to pay for it

After building many, many systems...I have come across both good and bad designs in motherboard layout, function and features. From the old days of DX2-66 and beyond, to my current favorite board, the Asus CUBX. I wont go into the gory details here,...

Pros: The great BX chipset ATA66 support.
Cons: Inexplicable instability.

The Asus CUBX is the latest, and probably the last, BX based board from Asus. Asus is a company known for fast and stable products and not really enthusiast products. The CUBX lives up this reputation...mostly. Let's look at the basics of the board....

Pros: Good, fast stable
Cons: Poor choice of front side bus speeds, 1/2 AGP multiplier on BX chipset

Pros: Reliable, full of features

Pros: Simple, reliable, cost effective

Pros: Buckets full of features
Cons: I'd like to see more FSB speeds

I bought the Asus CUBX motherboard as part of my mission to overclock my Pentium III 600 to 800 Mhz by raising the bus speed. I had poor results with my last motherboard primarily because it didn't support voltage tweaking. With the Asus Bios,...

Pros: Great compatibility - easy instalation
Cons: bit pricey

I used this motherboard to build my own PC and I must say it has been flawless. It was the first PC I had put together, so I was looking for a board that would give me lots of room to expand, and would not give me any problems. I found that the Asus...

Pros: Tons of features, and its Asus.
Cons: Nothing.

Slots : Agp, 5 PCI, 1 PCI/ISA
Memory : 4 DIMMS up to a gig of RAM, 256 in each dimm.
IDE controllers : Up...

Pros: Reliable, Tech Support, Fast
Cons: Larger than most
