ASUS A7V266-E AUDIO DRIVER DOWNLOAD

Through preliminary tests we were able to ascertain that SETI is extremely sensitive to memory bandwidth. We see our recurring theme present here. Impressive results all-round Let's pay a visit to page 1 of our benchmarker's Bible and try the old favourite that is Quake 3. That's not to say that Asus have not been busy in the retail channel, just one look at their extensive product catalogue informs you of that. Using slightly stricter settings resulted in failed boot-ups. We see the standard PCI slots 5, 32bit, 33Mhz flanked by a rather oddly placed floppy port. As has been mentioned above, the board can be set to jumper-free mode by changing the position of one jumper.

We liked the use of the C-Media sound chip, we also appreciated the quality of w7v266-e manual and general appearance of the package. Although latency is cut in half, you do sacrifice some security as RAID 0, by it's very nature, has no redundancy. Through preliminary tests we were able to ascertain that SETI is extremely sensitive to memory bandwidth. The modes can be toggled by changing the position of the JEN jumper located at the bottom right of the board. The socket has plenty of room around it ensuring that even large coolers are relatively easy to fit.

The RAID ports are located above the main IDE ports, we'd wish Asus would differentiate the ports like most other manufacturers do, a completely different colour would have sufficed. Let's have a look at the specification in a little more detail. We see the mark barrier breached once more courtesy of an overclocked XP Some users a7v266e rotated sockets and some like them, I fall into the latter camp as it allows me comfortably attach and remove my heatsink from the motherboard without having to remove it from the case.

Will the trend that we've observed so far continue here? Simply unplug the memory and away you go.

Review: Asus A7VE RAID Motherboard - Mainboard -

All benchmarks were conducted at xx32 85Hz with vertical sync disabled. We've found this combination to be the most stable in our stress tests. The Asus at Mhz takes an expected lead in this test. Here's a quick look at our overclocking result. Another fan header sits just to the right of the floppy port. That heritage seems to have carried through to the A7VE.

Let's move onto another area of media encoding that has historically been heavily reliant on memory throughput, namely DVD encoding. Using slightly stricter settings resulted in failed boot-ups. RAID 1 is more commonly used to auvio up data as one drive simply mirrors aa7v266-e is on the other. We're using Xmpeg 2. Asus also show the relative running speed of the PCI bus. A similar story to the Pifast results, one that should come as no surprise by now.

We also disliked the inability to be able to turn the RAID controller off, this increased the boot ajdio times by at least 10 seconds. However, even when set to jumper-free, you still have to manually change the DDR voltage by jumpers.

It asux so, the Asus can't quite catch the MSI at default speeds but naturally edges ahead at overclocked speeds. We feel that Asus have done a pretty good job with the A7VE.

That's not to say that Asus have not been busy in the retail a7f266-e, just one look at their extensive product catalogue informs you of that. The board packaging is subtle and not completely over-the-top like some.

ASUS Ships A7V266-E Motherboard

Although the memory benchmarks hinted at a difference, we are still surprised to see it almost 3 seconds behind the MSI albeit audil asynchronously. Our strict timings and use of the performance-enhancing 1T command certainly pay dividends here. The Asus, whilst not the best, is certainly in the top half of those that we tested.
