DDR2 or DDR3?
The pro looks nice. But I must restrain myself till 2009!
Can't quite comprehend those sata ports on either board tbh (5 drives here)
mm; all these nice looking boards, and no reason to buy one :(Quote:

The Pro on the other hand looks nice, all the connectors along the bottom and the same heat pipe assembly as the P5K-E, i only wish they included a heatsink for the mosfets up top too.
look at the RAM slots ;)Quote:

I'd take the P5Q3 Deluxe :p: ;)
buy a selection, bench them, sell them, no real reason required except the wish for some fun:p:Quote:

I prefer the E type...looks more professional....seems as if it has 9 SATA ports?, 1 ESATA and 8 normal, 6 by ICH10 so what is providing the other 3?...Silicon Image?, Jmicron?
True and once more we lead the performance as we did with E6600 in Q2 2006, no reason to waste money on something that will have no future after 2008.Quote:

isn't that what Pro tag should mean :confused:
Indeed, the E-type jag looks higher end.Quote:

Although, there are three PCIe 16x slots, it'd be nice to know whether they auto switch between 8x/8x or if they're fixed at some really stupid 16x/4x like they were on the P5K...
Or asus ..... p45 extreme :)Quote:

Look nice, but unless you are wanting a Crossfire setup, P35 is fine with me. In fact I will keep rocking with my cheap Gigabyte P35 DS3L. I am thinking not alot people will jump to the P45. Also cost? I mean we are looking at X38 prices? Also with Intel's next generation tech comming really soon, I much rather save my money for this. Although this is XS Forums ;)
Well i'm skipping from the P965 and going straight to the P45...PCIe2.0 is a serious draw for me, as well as ICH10. That and most P35 boards looked really bland :(
Some reason the Pro doesn't have the second heatsink on the MOSFET's above the socket?
Finally an Asus product I might like.
Same as P5K PRO versus P5K/EPU.Quote:

I'm still confused, P45 is supposed to be the consumer chipset, and X48 is the highend. But is P45 supposed to be better than x48?
P5Q-E = P5K-EQuote:

Wonder if the P35 boards will soft mod to P45 like P5E/Maximus - Ramgage.
In my country a P45 is what you get when you leave a job, I'm guessing these boards are well named.
