Besides the little problem I had right here at the end of things, I would say Asus has made another fine board. There are only a few snags I ran into, yet again, like I did with the MSI 790GX. The main problem being RAM slots on the newer AM2+/AM3 boards are just way too close. If I wanted to use any kind of active cooling I would not be able to. Most newer boards on team Red are switching to strictly 16x/16x in a dual configuration that I've seen and this board is 8x/8x. I was trying to run SLI 280's and I'm a firm believer that even though it's on the PCI-E 2.0 bus it still bottlenecks a bit. Of course, I believe the processor is a bigger bottleneck but that's not for discussion here!

The ASUS M4N72-E motherboard has its strong and weak points. The strong points include SLI support, support for AM3 CPUs out of the box as it's a new design and a solid bundle. Performance was lower than other chipsets but that is due to the fact that the nForce 750a is not the top of the line NVIDIA chipset for the AMD market, the 780a is the chipset for that catagory. The board comes in at an attractive $135 online, with a solid software bundle and great overclocking results, and was able to achieve a 30% overclock with the standard AMD reference cooler. The M4N72-E is a good motherboard for its price range and feature package.
