ASUS P5Q Premium.... Overkill?

Mike029 · Jul 8, 2008

I'm pretty much set on the P5Q Deluxe but then I saw this offered at Newegg.

Was wondering whats your thoughts? The board with it all? Or Overkill?
Stick with the Deluxe of for a few dollars more pick this up? I like the additional USB ports

Here is a link to an article on the MB in May

To me it looks like a waste of money. Four Lan ports, four pcie, I can not even think of a way of using that. 10 usb maybe useable but 6 usb is fine and I prefer having esata out.

I do have one question though, what is "overkill"??

If you can use the features, then go for it. I very much doubt you will though.

Thank Thideras, I as well doubt that I could use 4 lan ports or will ever need 10 usb ports. But there was a time when I thought 2 usb was more than enough

I'm not sure about these 2 boards, but I know the P5K-Premium has higher quality components over the P5K-Deluxe. This is usually not listed in the specs.

I say go for it if your budget allows it and the price difference isn't substantial.
