The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP comes from the AI Lifestyles Series line of motherboards that is designed to bring lifestyle and personal computing together. This motherboard provides better system performance for graphics-intensive applications, such as 3D games, and delivers cutting edge audio features that dramatically enhances the quality of voice signal. Thoughtful design further allows quick and easy setup, and to create a peaceful environment, several innovations are included to reduce noise and temperature. The Power of NVIDIA nForce
For high-performance gaming, the M2N-SLI is built with the NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP (media and communication processors). This MCP features AMD Socket AM2 processor support, 1 GHz HyperTransport link, and revolutionary NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface). Together with six Serial ATA ports--enabled through the SATA 3 Gbps RAID controller, Dual Gigabit LAN controllers, and High Definition Audio Interface--the NVIDIA MCP delivers exceptional performance and satisfies all your gaming graphic's demands. SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express bus architecture, and features intelligent hardware and software that allows two GPUs (Graphics Processor Units) to efficiently work together to deliver earth-shattering, scalable performance. For some applications you'll get nearly double the performance.

Performance, Noise, and Cooling Features
To balance both system performance and quietness, this motherboard features AI Gear that allows you to choose from profiles to adjust CPU frequency and CPU core voltage to minimize system noise and power consumption. You can even change the mode in real-time under your operating system to suit your needs. The motherboard is also built with AI Nap that instantly snoozes the PC without terminating the tasks. The system will continue operating at minimum power and noise whenever you're temporarily away. However, it keeps downloading files or running applications in it's quietest state possible to minimize unwanted noise and distractions. Simply click the keyboard or mouse and you can swiftly wake up the system in just a few seconds. The M2N-SLI also includes an Asus array mic. The bundled Superbeam Array Microphone only receives the sound coming from the reception cone, and ignores the sound coming from other directions. This mechanism eliminates a large number of interferences including neighboring speakers and reverberations. It also uses advanced de-reverberation techniques to reduce echo and minimize its effect on the speech engine. This feature, along with Asus's Crystal Sound, can enhance speed-centric applications, such as Skype, online gaming, video conferences, and recordings. In addition, this motherboard can detect repetitive and stationary noises, such as computer fans, air conditioners, and other background distractions, then eliminate this white noise from the incoming audio stream to deliver the best possible sound recording. Lastly, this motherboard features a fanless design that provides a cool environment without all the noisy baggage. Cooling fans, though a popular thermal solution, also come with noise pollution and a higher malfunction likelihood. Asus has devoted special efforts to address the thermal issues across the motherboard, and, most notably, the areas where the CPU, power, VGA, and chipsets reside. The heat pipe and heat sinks were tailor made to dissipate heat in the most efficient manner. CPU Features

Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Green nVIDIA Socket Am2 ATX Motherboard Reviews
By not pushing the board to its' limits, it is expected to be stable, and perform well for quite a few years The components used in conjunction with it are:- 535 watt power supply, 320 GB HDD, one basic video card, one DVD drive, one ethernet graphics card, and 2 gigabytes RAM; all within an all aluminum case. With two weeks of use under its' belt, the issues have only been minor. This motherboard represents a good value for the dollar. It is being used for a home computer for casual to moderate use.
Run from this board and any other by this company. I am now on my "FIFTH RMA'ed MOTHERBOARD" and that s*&^%%$#$ doesn't work either. The board preformed semi-flawless until May 11 2008 on that day this Asus product died and after nearly 4 months I'm still getting a run around from Asus customer support. I purchased this mobo on november 30 2007 and received it on December 3 2007. Do yourself a favor and do a google search on this product and find some forums on this product and you will read the same story as mine.I found out too late what type of junk ASUS sells. I have replaced EVERYTHING that connects to this board and still it fails.
The documentation and design never talk down to the user, but do streamline the installation process. Asus, as always, thinks of everything. The only thing I have to wonder about is the the slogan on the box: "Rock Solid * Heart Touching" can someone explain the second part.
There are tons of converters and documentation but it's all arranged in a manner that even a relative newcomer to at-home computer assembly can follow. I bought it as part of a bundle with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 6000+ 3.0 GHz Processor and think that even if I'd paid full price for both items, I would have gotten a deal. I just want them to work really well.
It's as if there's an assumption on the manufacturer's part that time is valuable and frustration is not. I would prefer that my electronics don't touch my heart in any way. There's not a lot to be said about this product that others haven't said before me.
The only downside of this motherboard is that it only has one primary IDE connection, so you have to share the primary IDE connector with the dvd-rom or cd-rom.etc I had to set my hard drive as the master drive and dvd-rom as a slave drive. Other than that it's an excellent motherboard for the price. It does have sata drive connectors for serial ATA hard drives and optical devices with SATA connectors which I currently do not use. The Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Green nVIDIA Socket Am is an excellent motherboard board.
AI Boost is sooooooo easy to use. This is a great motherboard. It's fast. Up to 3 Gb per second. Assembled everything and it booted right up on first try. Change the multiplier, The cpu voltage, the memory voltage while booted up. Just buy it.
. Comes with enough cables to hook up 6 SATA drives.
Also supports Phenom CPU's.
My system 5000 x2 Black edition cpu, 4 GB Kingston hyperx sli ready memory, Freezer pro cpu fan, EVGA 8800GT video card and 2 Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drives. Many options in the BIOS to overclock it manually if you know what you are doing there. Makes overclocking really easy.
It also has an auto mode to overclock the cpu up to 10% automatically.
