I’m running my ASUS P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP@n, with a Core 2 Quad Q9550S, 16 GB RAM (using four 4GB DDR3 sticks). I also installed a USB 3.0/SATA 3 card (ASUS U3S6 PCIE Card) in the third PEG PCIe 1.0 slot (4-line). The system is running at Stock Speed for CPU and memory. Wifi comes from an AzureWave AW-NA830 USB module. It should work as an access point but I have only used it in client mode. 802.11n speeds tested against a Linksys WRT-350N running DD-WRT. This mobo is based on the now aging X38 chipset. It is a great, match for my Core 2 Quad (latest BIOS) and DDR3 Memory has an edge over DDR2 memory. Having 16 GB of RAM makes wonders, when running several VirtualBOX virtual machines at once, as there is no performance penalty due to memory constraints. The main OS is Win7 ultimate, but I also run from time to time PC-BSD. Asus and Intel documentation (for X38 chipsets) mentions that the Max amount of onboard memory is 8GB, but Intel also mentions that this chipset has 36 bits addressing capability. So I imagine that back on 1997 Intel only had 2GB memory modules, so they tested and certified the chipset for up to 8GB configurations only. Your mileage may vary, but I’m very happy with my setup.Read full review
A PERFECT Motherboard for i86 machines. Grateful to find it still available as replacement. IMHO, it's a great choice for Win XP diehards (such as myself) who refuse to the pay the fortune in new software precipitated by any move to Win 7-10. Lightning fast with a (separately purchased) Core 2 CPU - mine's an Intel QX6850 Kentfield @ 3.0GHzwith an added cooler. The CPU is still running strong after 11 years, and will be transferred to the new MB. Caution - new games may require even greater CPU capability and RAM. mine's a business machine well-served by this hardy board and CPU.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Motherboard works well with my Q8400. has 8GB of RAM and works well with my graphics card. the built in wifi works well even though I never hooked up the wifi antenna
