There's two asus mobos im lookin at. Both are p5q series, both p45, both ddr2 1200, both support up to the core 2 extreme and 1600 fsb..
The Pro comes with 2x pci-e slots, which i will NEVER use.
The regular can run more max ram (16gb v 8gb) and looks cooler but only has one pci-e slot.
Are there any huge differences between these boards? And btw, I'm gonna o/c, getting an e8400 and will prb run 3.6g 24/7. so it needs to be reliable, and im gonna get the ocz reaper 1066. Also have a gtx 260. not gona sli anyhow (or xfire, for these boards).
So.. basically if price didnt matter and sli doesnt matter, what does the p5q pro have over the regular?
P5Q (the one i want to get)
Newegg.com - ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
P5Q Pro (any specifics why to get this one)
Newegg.com - ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
Edit::: What do you guys think of the asus p43?
Newegg.com - ASUS P5QL-E LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
Thanks a ton
