The promotional image above shows off the newly released motherboard provided for this review, the ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution X48 ATX. Without knowing anything about the capabilities, the aesthetics alone could be enough to grab your attention. The black PCB equipped with blue, white, and black features provides a unique look that is quite appealing. Of those features, the first ones I took note of are the four x16 PCI Express slots which would no doubt be useful for an array of multiple monitors for business applications, or for use in a CrossFire setup designed for some serious game play.
