Here's another mobo that we put to test. Is it really VFM?
Feature rich, Capability to support 10 USB ports, 4 SATA II ports, Graphics performance, DVI port.
Average Performance, Memory sub-system could have been better, Minor glitches with onboard graphics drivers.
When it comes to purchasing a motherboard, it makes sense to try and get as much info on all available options; it being one of the most important components for a computer.
Here's a 690G-based motherboard that's made its way into the Techtree Testlabs -- the Asus M2A-VM. It's rumored to be the best value-for -money board in its category. Let's put that to test, shall we?

I bought an Asus M2A-VM HDMI board. I am unable to get sound output, hence i have installed all required drivers many times but no gain at all. Please give me suggestions.

Till yesterday I was considering buying this Mobo until I read on ATI website about their new baby!! The 7 series Chipset! The 790X 770 chipset Mobos are already out! DirectX 10 onboard Graphics!! TT you are really late reviewing this MB. Please be quick. and do update others on the new ATI Chipset!

Beware of Asus aftersales service. I bought an 8NE and it has problems second time in a month. The best part is every time they have to send the mobo to mumbai and it takes 10-15 days. So if you are not in mumbai then you must think about it.

"support for memory speeds up to DDR/800, up to 10 USB 2.0 sports" What sports are included in USB? Hope there'll be Olympics for USB Sports ;-)

The Board Has got all the feature is nice it value for money but it is nightmare for your System administrator (network Administrator) The LAN Chip is faulty and start misbehaving @ any time the network traffic rose to a level
