Asus M4A79XTD EVO

Asus is gearing up to release a new AM3 motherboard, the M4A79XTD EVO. Based on AMD 790X / SB750 chipset, the board features an 8+2 phase power design, supports AMD Phenom II and Athlon II processors, and comes with four DDR3-1800 memory slots as well as two PCIe x16 slots for CrossFirex setups. In addition, the board also comes with several connectivity ports including eSATA, seven SATA 3.0 Gbps, 7.1 channel audio, Gigabit Ethernet and FireWire.

Comes with blue color scheme, this Asus motherboard looks like everything seems to be placed very well, nothing seems to get in the way of anything else. Not sure how it would be if using both the PCIe slots though. Asus M4A79XTD EVO boots up very quickly and has a fairly clean bios wich is navigated with ease. The instruction book for the board is very well written and covers most of the features although description of some aspects were limited. If you plan to install Windows 7, make sure to leave the SATA drive in BIOS in IDE mode and you will have no issue.

I'm running Windows 7 profesional on this mobo and currently have a RAID 5 configured on SATA ports 1-3. Since Windows 7 does not support RAID 5, I have it set through the BIOS. Does not appear to have any problems. So far the only problem I'm finding with this mobo is the Gigabit LAN won't recognize as a Gigabit, instead its only running at 100Mb under Windows 7, even with the latest driver.

I'm also running windows 7 pro on this mobo with a RAID 0 config through the BIOS. No problem with the disks but the additional SATA DVD-RW station does not recognize disks. Also I have a problem with Crossfire on this board. I have two ATI4850 cards and while crossfire is disabled games run fine but with crossfire enabled most games crash the video output and I need to reset the system.

How were you able to install the raid drivers for windows 7? Did you have to do it w/ the usb floppy drive since there is not floppy connection on the motherboard?

Windows 7 doesn't need a floppy drive for drivers. You can install them by an USB Flash drive, CD or something else...
