Dualcores will run just fine on even 6 phase power boards.

Now with quadcores, you would really feel the difference the 16 phase power of this board has, against other boards. Stability on high clocked quads with high fsb, is very dependent on this 16 phase power, witch for dualcores, is of course a totally overkill.

Believe, this 16 power design, is not just a market thing. And I don't see non-asus boards using it. It is there for a reason.

So in a way, for me at least, if you have a quad, this is the best p45 board for it yes, for solid stability on 24/7 operation.
I can show you one, Rampage X48 will beat this board everytime, on FSB and Bandwidth. Gigabyte UD3 beats MIIF in FSB and Bandwidth at alot less $$. Hard to make a sweeping claim like that when you only have 1 board. I have tested 6 boards this year and probably 15 chips. Your intitled to your opinion and yes this is a good board but to call it the best when the bios is need of a major overhaul, many valuable performance feature's simply do not work makes it hard to support your claim. More to a board than having 1 chip clock well. Do it with 3 or 4 different chip's and you start to add merrit to your claim
