I am interested in getting a A7N8X-VM. Probably the 400 MHz
version.
I will probably be satisfied with the quality of graphics provided
by the nForce2 integrated graphics chip.
However I don't want to get the VM if it compromises on too many
other things when compared to the ED version of the A7N8X. I have
looked at the Asus web pages but I want to know if there any other
differences which they don't mention.

These seem to be the differences but please advise and correct me
if I have misread the info:
Only 2 DIMM slots on VM compared to 3 on VM.
Only get 3 PCI slots on VM compared to 5 on ED.
Not get 2 SATA ports and RAID capability on VM.
No Dolby AC-3 on VM.
Only single LAN port on VM compared to 2 on ED.
Not get 2 Firewire 1394 ports on VM which are on ED.
No POST Reporter or Q-Fan on VM (what are these?).
Few overclock features on VM (huh ???).
Only 1 RJ45 port on VM compared to 2 on ED.
No COM2 connector on VM.
No free InterVideo WinDVD Suite on VM.
No free IDE, SATA and Firewire cables on VM.
No 2 port USB "extender" on VM.
