Best mobo yet
Strengths: Very solid and many features
Weakness: Perhaps a bit pricey, though worth it
If you need an AM3 board, you'll be happy with this one. It has many overclocking options that are easy to implement, it's stable, the manual and website are good, the onboard audio is outstanding, and it has a very handy cartridge for installing the front panel case wires. It has too many other features to mention.

works as advertised
Strengths: Stable, full of options for OC'ing, no surprises, nice great raid controller, it's got an external COM1 connector! Good audio, decent video (Then I installed my regular video card.)
Weakness: none I've found so far
System Config:
Asus M4A78T-E motherboard (obviously)
AMD Phenom II 955 BE
8Gig GSkill RAM (4 X 2Gig)
ATI 1800 PCI-E Video Card (older, but still rocks)
Zalman CNPS9900 CPU fan (which is awesome!)
Windows7 64-bit (it actually works!)
2 RAID0 arrays (motherboard raid controller):
2 X Western Digital 320G (3G/s SATA) for 640G
2 X Seagate 160G (1.5G/s SATA) for 320G

Great Board
Strengths: It has a great manual and tons of great options. Has stayed very cool in my case (Antec 900) and have never encountered problems with it. 7.1 built in sound, and a 128 mb 4 series ati graphics onboard
Weakness: I still have yet to find any
Although it was difficult to install my Sunbeam Core Contact cooler because it was so close to the edge of my case. This was not a deal breaker, but just a note to anyone who is thinking of buying this case with this motherboard and installing the same cooler as I. Although it is highly unlikely.
