The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you shouldn't base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

Final Words
The ASUS CUSL2 is the first i815 motherboard we've reviewed. So while it may seem a bit premature to bestow an Editor's Choice Award, we know a great motherboard when we see one. ASUS has thrown everything into the CUSL2 but the kitchen sink - and we wouldn't be surprised if that popped up somewhere in here. ASUS has raised the bar once again with the CUSL2 and other manufacturers should now know what to shoot for. The CUSL2 is a a board that should satisfy anyone looking for a top notch i815 solution.
