Hello Everyone. We're just shooting over a quick note to let you all know that we've posted a new article at HotHardware.com in which we evaluate the features, value, and performance of Asus nForce 650i SLI-based P5N-E SLI motherboard. Here's a snip:
"The Asus P5N-E SLI uses a fairly standard design based on an ATX form factor and a sleek black PCB. Asus didn't take any huge chances with the design here, but considering this board is targeted at the mid-range market, they didn't really have to. Notable items upon first glance are the dual PCI Express x16 slots with SLI link adapter, the huge heatsink passively cooling the Northbridge, and a Southbridge which is not cooled by anything."

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
