or

http://uk.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=307&model=1295&modelmenu=1

they both have Wifi even though it dosent say the shop i will be buying it from i will be buying the Wifi version.

Could you people help me out which one seems better and which one do you prefer thank you so much.
 
If you plan on pushing over 455FSB for some reason (benching or above average cooling, or running the bleeding edge 24/7 1.6+Vcore mid 60C's load temps) get the P5B-Deluxe

If you only need around 450FSB for what you want to do.. the P5W-DH will work fine.
 
Take it from someone that has owned several of both. P5B-D. I just don't understand why people keep recommending the DH. Compared to the P5B, its crap.

you got old DH's hyperasus.. the new ones his 455FSB on average.. umm do your clocks need more then 455FSB? its a E6400 he's talking about thats 3.6Ghz
 
It is more then just the fsb greenmaji. Raid on the DH is PITA, more money, and for what? Less fsb and stability? The ONLY realistic argument I can think of for a DH, is crossfire. The second graphics card slot on the P5B is gimped.
 
Hey

what if i wasent going to over clock any of the components and just use them at stock speed then which one would you recommend.

Probably the reason why im holding onto the P5W DH is because it is the latest chipset out the 975x while the other board P5B Deluxe is the 965p Chipset does this make much difference.
 
965 is actually a newer chipset. Which is why it overclocks higher. But, 965 lacks full crossfire suport and suposedly has looser timings in the NB. Makes up for this by being the most stable mb on the market though. It still surprises me how the P5B's never give me any trouble. Just works every time.
 
sorry a few more things can the P5B Deluxe take Nvidia cards or just ATX and last thing has this board got onboard graphics already? thanks
