The M3A32-MVP Deluxe is an AMD Socket AM2+ motherboard from Asus based on AMD’s 790 FX chipset. The board is compatible with AMD’s Phenom FX, Phenom X4, Phenom X2, Athlon X2 and Sempron processors.
WIth the 790 FX Chipset, the M3A32-MVP Deluxe features AMD’s newest system bus technology - HyperTransport 3.0 (HT 3.0). HT 3.0 provide 2.6 times the bandwidth of HyperTransport 1.0, making for a faster system. The board is also the first AMD platform to natively support DDR2 1066. For even faster graphics performance, the M3A32-MVP Deluxe features quad PCI Express 2.0 x16 and ATI’s CrossFireX technology. With CrossFireX, the user can set anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, shading, and texture settings higher. And with the ATI Control Center, the user can see the effect of their configurations in 3D-rendered previews in real-time.
For users wishing to overclock their system, the Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe provides the Precision Tweaker 2 system and AI NOS technology. With Precision Tweaker 2, northbridge, southbridge and DRAM voltages can be tweaked in 0.02v increments. Asus’ patented AI NOS (Non-delay Overclocking System) is a dynamic overclocking technology that detects CPU load and automatically overclocks CPU speed when needed.
The M3A32-MVP Deluxe also offers convenient BIOS management features: ASUS O.C. Profile, CrashFree BIOS3 and EZ Flash2. These three features allow the user to store and load different BIOS settings, restore BIOS data from a USB flash disk and update the BIOS before booting into the operating system.

ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi-AP Motherboard
Reviewer: ThinkComputers24 March 2008- Overall 7
This board was a bugger for me. I'm still discovering quirks here and there even though I've been using it for nearly a month. The initial problems were very, very discouraging and I'm glad I worked to troubleshoot things rather than simply dismissing the board as crap. The major point of frustration was incessant crashing in Windows XP 64-bit while the main SATA controller was in IDE mode. This should not happen Ever. ASUS was unable to reproduce the error, though. I'm... Read more

Reviewer: TechSpot03 January 2008
So far there are very few AM2+ motherboards on the market, with most of them coming from ASUS itself and Gigabyte.

The Asus M3A32MVP Deluxe WiFi motherboard was just awesome to work with. The board sets up easy, and has the Asus name to back it, which means absolute quality. I will say right off the bat that the only drawback of the board is that it is an AMD board. Whether you may think the following statement is nice to say or not does not negate its truth: Right now, AMD cannot compete with Intel when it comes to CPU performance. With that in mind, as good as this board... Read more

Reviewer: ExtremeTech03 December 2007- Overall 5
Phenom is finally here, but seems six months late and still a work in progress. New BIOS updates cure stability issues, making the M3A32-MVP a solid choice for Phenom users. Read more

SLI?
Reviewer: Anonymous, Ebuyer.com25 August 2008Hi all, Just interested to know if this board can run nVidea GFX Cards in SLI (I'm looking at the XFX 880GT), or if you can only run ATIs in Crossfire? Thanks! Read more
