Hello, for my first rig, I am wondering, is the ASUS a fast, reliable, and easy-to-setup motherboard? Also, does it overclock well with good memory? (to at least 240mhz HTT 1:1 1T) One more question, if I get an XP-90, will Corsair XMS XLPRO with LED's fit in the first two DIMM slots? Reason being because the local store just got one in stock and is offering it for $199. Or should I wait for other brands' offers (DFI, MSI, etc.)

i'll let you know as soon as i complete mine. i've got to RMA the board because of the 2 LAN ports that dont work. also, i dont know if anyone else has come across this yet, but after installing the drivers on the asus cd, my system hangs so i had to re-format a few times before i figured that was the problem. something is wrong with the drivers or my sys config.

i did get the corsair xms xl pro series and it works great. if you're going to oc, make sure to get some thermal compound and a good heatsink/fan combo.
