P5e vs maximus formula?

Thanks
They're both good so far. The P5E is pretty much the MAXIMUS rebadged and tripped of some and added of others. You get the "2" extra SATA, but still on J-Micron (I'd rather drop in my own Sis on PCI-E).

The MAXIMUS FORMULA has every chance the P5E does with the right BIOS fixes to come.

All the trouble you hear is mostly from quad OC'rs w/ RAM up deviders, and this will be the challenge on both if looking for higher FSB OC.

For Core 2 users on 1:1 w/ tight timings, you cant go wron with either. As for gamers, I like the MAXIMUS for it's unique features such as mobo voltages LED's and LED poster. I like that it is stripped of the stuff I would either not use or just replace, like Wi-Fi, eSATA etc.

The P5E will be likely the last DDR2 X38 but will, or may get revised and /or upgraded in time as newer features come to. But Like most "E" or "Premium" additions, most OC'n stuff is the same.

Hope this helps!
