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 should not 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
Once again, you can treat the TS-ASL2 as a “standard” i815E motherboard. It has all the features the Intel i815E chipset provides, but it does not provide something extra or special. Transcend chooses to focus on high quality and high performance motherboard, and we proved that they have carried that with the TS-ASL3. The TS-ASL3 has decent performance and stability as well as some pretty good overclocking options. Throw in a great price and the TS-ASL3 becomes quite a contender.
