ASUS A7 Pro

The basic difference in features between the Asus A7V and the Asus A7 Pro is

that the A7V has support for both ATA 100 and ATA 66 hard disks; while the A7

Pro has support for only the ATA 66.

Performance wise the A7Pro did equally well as the A7V. It got 53.8 in

Highend Winstone99, which was the highest score in its group. (It was followed

by the Asus A7V with 53.1). It repeated its performance in VideoMark2000, 3D

Winbench 2000, Quake III Arena and Ejay MP3 bagging the highest score in each of

these tests. The margin of victory, however, was not too much because the A7V

was never too far behind in any test. Still, performance wise motherboards don’t

get any better than the A7V.

The CD accompanying the motherboard had lots of useful software, like

CyberLink for PowerPlayer SE, CyberLink Power DVD and Video mail software apart

from the regular motherboard drivers. The board is decently priced at Rs 9,950.

So if you want the very best in performance then this board is a good choice for

you.
