But I can bet you, that in many scenarios, it can still put up a fierce fight and loose it just by a hair or maybe win it... I think that P5B Dlx is more "versatile" board, that allows to clock high all C2D CPUs, not only those with 9 and higher multiplier. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure, pair up P5B Dlx with E6700 or X6800 and some of the Pi times (not all, especially past ~4.4GHz on E6700) will be as good on P5B as on P5W...
I meant too slow for superpi records If you get the p5b to get high ram clocks, and even that way you dont get a good performance boost ( still perform worse ), then is not the best. Of course, with P5W DH we will never see 600FSB, but that's useless with "high" cpu's, even more when C2 revision of 965 performs worse than C1 ( im not sure about this but i guess so )

BTW, it's a VERY good mobo IMHO, specially for allendales or low multi cpus, but i wont buy one for myself because i dont want allendale or low multi cpu.
