It's kinda outdated. You should consider the p5q series. Pro preferably.

Is the P5Q(not the pro or anything, just the normal one) a good clocker?

I'm not quite sure. I think it is. But is 30mhz fsb worth the price difference?

p5q < p5q pro < p5q deluxe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

What is the max a E8400 can go up to with a normal P5Q?

I can only speak for the Deluxe models of these 2 mobo's! They are both great mobo,s. The P5K Deluxe is still a great mobo, just update bios to run the E8400. Ran mine at 4.3 with just over 1.4v under a water block, it ran at 4.1 with 1.4v under a TRUE 120. The P5Q Deluxe is one of the best mobo,s I have ever owned, and I have owned alot of mobo,s.
