    Definetely the Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP.
    Not much difference basically.Just a little bit of extra cooling heatsinks.

    Re: Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP or Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP ?

    I'd go for the P5K-E WIFI-AP.

    There's not really that much difference between it and the premium. Only difference being cooling and some raid options.

    ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

    It's also the one I have.

    I believe you are referring to the P5K3 Deluxe, rather than the P5K Deluxe.
