    What is the difference betweent these two motherboards????

    hello,

    I've been trying for a while, and despite the ~£40 difference, I cannot find a single difference between these two boards:

    http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...55&modelmenu=1

    http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...46&modelmenu=1

    Here is the spec sheet for comparison:

    http://event.asus.com/mb/p5k/uk/spec.html

    As you can see, there is not a single difference between them on the spec sheet, why!?!?!??!?!

    So far by looking at the links the only diffences I can see are the different heatpipe design. The cables you get with it may also be different. There is also and extra ethernet port on the deluxe one. It's like some weird type of spot the difference

    I couldn't agree more Eddta, the differences are tiny.

    I've just been through both spec sheets in detail, and from what I can see is they give you a couple more SATA cables and a USB thingy with the deluxe version. Oh, and the extra ethernet port. I hardly believe that's worth the extra cash.

    Asus management should be shot. Any surviving should be shot again.

    Thanks for your help guys.
