The P8P67 PRO has SLI and CF support with x8/x8 in the two slots for those setups (i.e. the crippled performance of the NON-pro model in CF/dual card config isn't the case on the PRO). Additionally it features an Intel NIC vs. the Realtek one of the NON-pro, and better phase regulation as well as a bunch of other more minor features/niceties of the board.
Definitely go for the Pro if you can... if you NEVER intend to try a multi-card config, the non-pro could be viable, but it is an inferior board.
