nForce2 Ultra 400 Shootout: ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe vs DFI LANPARTY NFII Ultra B Since its inception, ASUS' A7N8X Deluxe has been highly regarded by journalists and end users due to its excellent combination of performance, features, and price, not to mention that solid ASUS name. To ring in 2004 ASUS decided to build on this foundation and add a little more flavor with the A7N8X-E Deluxe.
