I am looking for a new motherboard and there are two only options of asus motherboard. I am confuse between this two model 1] asus p5q deluxe and ASUS P5Q-E. Can any tell me the difference between this two motherboard? Which one is best?
The ASUS P5Q Deluxe : the best computing & power saving combined platform, The P5Q-E has 8 phase power, The Deluxe has 16. This is good for hardcore quad overclocking, but not essential. ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard supports the latest Intel Core2 processors in LGA775 package. It also can support Intel 45nm Multi-Core CPU. With new Intel Core microarchitecture technology and 1600/1333/1066/800MHz FSB, Intel Core 2 processor is one of the most powerful and energy efficient CPU in the world.
The p5q deluxe is the same board as the rampage formula with a different heatsink set and BIOS. P5Q-E has several innovative features with this motherboard, including their new EPU with 6 engines for massive energy saving, the Asus Express Gate for quick 5 second boot online, and Drive Xpert for quick easy backup.
The Asus P5Q Deluxe : LGA775 socket for Intel Core2 Extreme/Core 2 Quad,CPU: Supports all Quad/Dual Core Intel LGA775 Processors.Storage: 6x SATA 3.0Gbps via ICH10R, 2x SATA 3.0Gbps via Silicon Image SIL3752 controller, 1x UDMA133 & 1x eSATA 3.0Gbps via Marvell 88SE6121 controller. I believe the primary difference is the P5Q although its P45, does not support crossfire (while the P5Q Deluxe definitely does at 8x8x).
