Summary: Update the BIOS for Core 2 Duo CPU to work.
Comment: BIOS is old, unable to access Core 2 Duo CPU.....
Had to install older P4 CPU, flash BIOS, then install Core 2 Duo.
Asus should get their head out of the sand. They print that the MB can take Core 2 Duo, but they don't mention that you have to update the BIOS to make things work! Dumbbells.
The CPU Cooler can be no larger than 92mm x 92mm due to cooling cage that surrounds the CPU.
Other than this stupidness, the board is great.

Summary: Asus P5E3
Comment: I got this system to build a new VISTA based system. It had more than was needed, so it made a great foundation. This system was very easy to over-clock and runs very stable. Unfortunately I can't say that for VISTA! I ended up putting XP back on this system and it runs great. It comes with XP and VISTA drivers, so you can go either way. I would highly recommend this motherboard for the foundation on your new system!

Summary: Reply to Robert Hudock's post!
Comment: 1st of all you don't know what your talking about!!
this motherboard is the best DDR3 memory motherboard out there with crazy overclocking ability..! if you did not make enough research on this mobo then you only have your self to blame. speaking of DDR3 memory , there are 2 versions on the X38 intel chipsets that ASUS tweaked. one is for the new DDR3 memory and the other for DDR2. If the price of DDR3 is too high in the meantime (which i completely agree with you on this) and you still wanted to take advantage of the X38 that enables crossfire configuration then you could have just got the ASUS Maximus formula or the P5E motherboard that uses DDR2 memory!
Needless to say that after the x38 chipset there won't be anymore DDR2 memory so you do the math.
if anybody is interested to know more about this amazing motherboard check out anadtech.com or tomshardware reviews of this motherboard or google ASUS P5E3.

Summary: Order from ANTONLINE with an abudance of caution
Comment: The product description omitted a lot key details including most importantly the vendor's (ANTONLINE's) return policy. Despite not having opened the internal packaging with the exception of reviewing the product manual for compatibility issues/ concerns; I have spent the last four days in a run around with the vendor, and as far as I can tell there is no human being you can actually talk to.
Issues/ Concerns:
(1) The built int WIFI network could be a security risk. It is not clear what security functionality is included in this built in WIFI router.
(2) The only compatible memory is DDR3 which is very expensive.
(3) Apparently there have been BIOS update issues with the product (I have not tested this myself). Stability is very important to me, after reviewing the details in the product manual and other websites it appears the board includes a lot of features but may not be stable, clearly, a problem for a premium over clocking motherboard. One review board indicated that they had to down clock their memory to stabilize the system (this is a real deal breaker after spending 800 dollars on 4 GB of DDR3 memory.
(4) There appears to be some-type of integrated RF control device (similar to what you get with the mac-mini), again I am concerned about the implementation of this item and whether this functionality can be turned off.
With proper testing some of these concerns could be addressesed, but I am not willing to risk opening the packaging thereby making the return even more onerous than it already is.
I have had good experience with TigerDirect as a vendor, and Amazon itself, but be careful with some of these alternative vendors which sell through amazon online but have a very different return policy and whose customer service is completely substandard compared to amazon's normal policies.
