Conclusion:

Coming out of the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe testing under Linux, this is quite possibly one of the best AM2 motherboards. The M2N32-SLI Deluxe boasts NVIDIA's flagship nForce 590 SLI Chipset, is extremely tweakable when it comes to overclocking and performance options, and ships with a wide array of accessories. Among the ASUS innovations for the MN232-SLI Deluxe WiFi is a fanless heat-pipe Chipset cooling system and integrated 802.11g wireless adapter. Some of the other new items introduced with this AM2 product were an ASUS array microphone and Q-Connector kit. When it comes to the motherboard itself it offers dual Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394a Firewire, dual RAID, and SATA on the Go capabilities. The overclocking results were nice and it certainly was stable throughout our tests. When it came to the Linux compatibility with the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi, the integrated WiFi-AP Solo 802.11g had not worked natively nor did LM_Sensors properly detect the hardware sensors. Other then those two anomalies the motherboard had faired quite well with Linux compatibility, and its performance was certainly competitive. For those enthusiasts after top-notch performance with Socket AM2, the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe should certainly be towards the top of the list.
