Commando does as well.hyperasus said:P5B has dual pci-e. Comes in pretty handy should you ever want more then 2 screens.
Last time I checked the P5B Deluxe doesn't have a LPT port either. I don't really see how not having a printer port benefits a gamer anyway. You can wlasy disable legacy ports via the bios anyway.RangerXLT8 said:For a gamer\Overclocker Commando is the best choice. For instance Commando does not have a LPT Printer port.
The useful range for vDimm with ddr2 doesn't really extend above 2.5V, so being able to go up to 3.3V isn't an advantage either.RangerXLT8 said:Commando has insane voltage capabilties like 3.3V for DDR2!
The south bridge really doesn't need to be tied in with a heatpipe like that. In all honesty, its probably better off on its own.hyperasus said:OK I thought it only had one pci-e but now looking at the newegg pics I can see you are right. Now here I am wondering if I should be upgrading my P5B. I like the way the heatpipe runs all the way over to the southbridge. P5B leaves the southbridge to fend for its self in the cooling department.
found on the Striker, missing from the earlier 965 boards.8 phase EL-Capless power design
Yep I'd have to agree but coming from an amd build i 'm very pleaesed with the results especially when comparing price/performance ratio to the 680i boards, which a) don't seem to offer the same performane & b) by comparison cost an arm & a leg.Gotta love the layout If you already have the P5B-D, than it might be more out of pocket cash than it's really worth
That's the main reason I didn't go w/ the EVGA board. Now that I've experienced the power of the matrix and the crazy snappy Winblows experience...Supershanks said:...especially when comparing price/performance ratio to the 680i boards, which a) don't seem to offer the same performane[/URL]
