If you are not going to OC it, then it's a waste of money. It is a great OC'er and should be used accordingly. If you just want to tweak a bit, then go for a lower level X48 or one of the new P45 boards IMHO. WHich is what I did for my brother, he likes a stable system and likes to get a little extra performance from his components so I lightly overclock it for him; I got him a Q9450 and an ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe, he is running them at 400FSB and he is as happy as a pig in $h!t.

PS: P5E3 Premium and P5Q3 Deluxe have almost all the same features, but the P5Q3 is about $150 cheaper; just thought you might want to know that.
