DFI increased the sheer number of capacitors.

this seems to be mroe a matter of quality over quantity.

quantity probably works better though as you get diminishing returns/$ as you get better and better caps.

Also, DFI didnt' swap an audio riser for flash memory, they kept their karajan module.

you also got to look from the perspective that BECAUSE they're buying millions at a time...any small difference in price is massive collectively.

Which is why stuff like..taking off like 5% of material to make something eco friendly makes a huge difference on mass produced things...because it adds up a lot.

Most of those capacitors don't even do anything important.

so it would be P5B, P5B-E,p5b-e plus, P5B Deluxe,p5b deluxe wifi, P5B Premium.
imho this is just insane, in the time of the p4 you had p4c800 and p4c800 deluxe and that was it. their starting to act like ea, no bug fixes, no decent support, way overpriced ( striker is 340 euro's here in the netherlands ).

You totally forgot the P5B vista edition.

Lol whats wrong with one hi-end board and one low-end board.

No we have to have one board to each customer.

Who knows in a year or two maybee this is their new slogan? "ASUS make your own board"

Vista is going to DRM the hardware market and take it down on the slow descent to hell with it.

How sad.

It's an Asus board; the VCore is still gonna droop like an old man's willy, regardless of what caps they use.

It's a LCD that display's to all how much money they suckered you out of :D

It's a successful mobo. It is like apple's iPods. What flavor are you?

you know what? i dont :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing care about super duper caps. i do :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing care about the TPM. death to trusted computing. asus commando is my pick for 965. screw this.

edit: im anti asus now. PLUS, you just lost a customer, probably forever.
