Upgrading Your Motherboard

 

In this video I will show you a great motherboard from ASUS that uses SLI and it is packed with great features at an awesome price. Below I also posted information where to buy this board and technical specs.

One more thing I wanted to mention that I did not in video is that this motherboard is great for overclocking and very easy to do it with software included in the ASUS CD.
