What would you recommend for a current Conroe setup:

DFI P965-S

or

Asus P5K non deluxe.

As I understand, the P5k supports future 45nm Penryn CPU. I don't really mind that, but what is better right now between those two?

ICH9 vs ICH8?


Searching brings up funny/conflicting results and hints. I just want a straight answer if possible.

Have you read the Anandtech articles where they were testing ATi's new cards and comparing DDR2 to DDR3? I know its not what you are looking for specifically but it does shed some light on the new Intel chipset.

DDR2 vs DDR3 (http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2989)

975 vs P35 (http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2990)
