I used one recently for a customer's build and was very impressed. No trouble running an E8500 at FSB 500, along with 8GB of ram @ 1100Mhz without using any high voltages (1,18V VTT, 1,4V MCH, 2V Vdimm).
Almost no Vdroop which is great, only thing that annoyed me is the lack of voltage displays in bios
That's a dual-core chip. I'm running a quad core. I'm also speaking in relative terms. There are other boards that can get much higher FSB with either a dual or quad core. But I like my P5Q Dlx because it's been problem-free and I don't need to run high VCore. It's also my main PC. The quad core is unlocked, so I don't need to run high FSB to get decent speed.
