enjoy
what an odd name for a motherboard range :lol:
pay rise to the guy that came up with that simple term to use in a sentence.
Going from the news of the newer power regulation quality im guessing these motherboards are going to cost more than an arm and a leg, causing anything from DFI to look cheap and yet performance for overclocking and such may be very similar. Its going to get very heated with the future motherboard manufacturers if you ask me. Just take a look at that quad thing from Gigabyte with a 12... yes 12 phase power regulation design, using high quality components.
In the end it leaves the question, do i go for 12 phase power design using high quality components or do i go for 8 with ultra high quality componets plus that added Asus stability factor in mind.

im certain the difference's between the boards overclocking limits and temperature outputs from the power designs will be very similar as they both use the 8-phase power design only one being "higher" quality and filled with LEDs and a small number of extras. But the price difference im sure is going to be quite big :eek:

yeah i guess.....
dut i think the hardcore OC'ers will still choose DFI becuase of how good the nForce 4 boards, and i think these Asus boards are designed to be sold to
n00bs who want a 'OCable mobo'[

If you have an SLI-Deluxe (P5N32), assuming you are running SLI, then the P5B Deluxe is not the right choice for you. The P5B Deluxe's 2 PCI slots run at 16x and 2x or 4x when used together, not both at 8x or the prefered 16x. ASUS are bringing out a revised P5N32 SLI-Deluxe with Core 2 Duo support very soon. There will also be a SLI version of the P5B released v soon.
