The regular P5B seems to be a better deal compared to the P5B-D, but I have seen some amazing clocks with Conroe 6300/6400's on the P5B-D. I personally do not need a WiFi setup on my PC nor di I need dual PCI E, so I do not care for that feature but is the FSB much higher on the P5B-D compared tot he regular P5B? I am looking at those boards now trying to decide which one to go with for my 6400. :bang head

After looking at the 2 boards I realized that the Deluxe version has 8 phase power so I would assume that's why it has a much higher OC potential compared to the regular P5B?
 
the regular P5B doesnt get high fsb I guess like the deluxe does,
you dont have to buy the p5b deluxe with wifi theres a deluxe without the wifi, its just hard to find...

i got mine for $230 shipped from xpcgear but they are $260 NOW !! and so is pretty much everyone else.

i got my 6600 from these guys for $350
