Asus P5B Premium Vista Edition review

Verdict

Packed with extras to target some of Vista's interesting new features, but it isn't quite the marvel we were hoping for.

Review Date: 14 Mar 2007

Reviewed By: Clive Webster

Price when reviewed: (£168 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
4 stars out of 6

So can this motherboard really justify its high price? We like the ReadyBoost module, but the ScreenDUO needs further work: even with more robust drivers and software it currently looks and feels too cheap to be tempting. We'd wait for the next revision or opt for the £69 Foxconn and buy Vista extras separately.
