The ASUS M3N-HD/HDMI motherboard is built on the AMD AM2+/AM2 platform and comes with support for the AMD Phenom Quad Core processor. It supports DDR2 1066 dual channel to provide capacity for increased memory data transfer rate and processing efficiency. The combination allows for an accellerated data transfer rate of 5000MT's through the Hybrid transport 3.0 system bus. The HDMI interface and bundled HDMI/DVI conversion adaption allows flexibility to support both formats, in addition to analogue d-sub. Fast boot time and instant access to the internet without a Windows system installation are added features.

Pros
- passively cooled
- uses quality components that will be stable and allow for a long life (all solid state capacitors)
- support for DDR2 1066MHz
- good, albeit odd connector placement - does not obstruct video card area
- Supports AM3 CPU
- includes a capable onboard graphics chip if you need to troubleshoot a graphics card, utilize less electricity or don't want to buy a card right away
Cons
- potential cooling issues? - very little cooling on a more advanced chipset
- Only supports 125W or less AM3 or AM2 CPU
- somewhat expensive for an AMD motherboard, despite being a higher end model
- limited upgradability (is not an AM3 board: no DDR3, no future hyper transport revision etc...)
- poor placement of board power connections may obstruct airflow to/from the CPU
