P5B or P5K

[DecomposingStar]

I've got some spare cash lying around, and i was wondering which mobo to buy.

I haven't checked out these new P5K's yet, do they REQUIRE DDR3 or can they take DDR2 aswell?

Otherwise it'll be a P5B deluxe i'll be buying. (unless you can suggest a similar board)

P5K = DDR2
P5K3 = DDR3

P5B and P5K are both great boards, the P5K has the edge on overclocking.

cool, P5K i reckon then.

does anyone kno other differences between the p5b and p5k?

Read the specs and look at piccies?

[Clunk]

One is spelt slightly differently.

dude, most definately get the P5K wifi deluxe. brilliant board, great features, just not the best package (ie dont bundle ****-loads of stuff like gigabyte/MSI do).

solid board, good overclocker, and I personally think that the heatpipe solution works quite well. Its also a newer chipset on a smaller process so generates less heat.

no contest really.

Neither their both crap, give me the money

i'd go P5K no worries.

chipset on a smaller process

tht was expected but the outcome is the chipsets the same micron as the p5b
