how is this motherboard for overclocking and stability since at the time i dont think i have the cash to put out 200+ on a board right now. Ill be pairing the board with a Q6600/ 2-4GB of Gskill ram not sure which speed to go for/ And a 4850.
 
P5Q Pro is about the same as the Deluxe, just different features. So, I'm not sure, you tell me how good it is:

+1

I had a P5Q Deluxe that was a fantastic clocker, you really can't go wrong with these new P45s unless you really need full 2 16x PCIe slots.
 
such hard choices >.<

P5Q Pro with Asus 4850 is 309 due to special discount newegg has
while P5Q deluxe with Asus 4850 is 399.

Choices choices =/ im getting this all overnight/nextday cuz i cant wait xD my old

How good what is? Price wise? Performance wise?

Either one is pretty good.

well the conversion works out to be $567 for that setup... imo it seems a bit overpriced for the prices we are seeing in the states.. for that cost it should have a better video card.

*edit*
i see your other post now, performance wise the cpu is good for most gaming. the lacking part, if you play games is the gpu, the ram might be a issue. as at DDR2-800 i have a deal about the timings, cas5 is way to high for that speed. should be cas4 at DDR2-800 speed ram, that is the best balance at that speed for BW.
