Ey guyz! what do you think is a better performing MOBO :

P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP or P5WD2-E Premium?

Ive heard the P5B is an "upgrade" of the P5wd2-E but in the reviews, the P5B does not perform better that much.. Is it worth it to by the P5B that costs a bit more?

I know you might say that the P5B is core duo compatible plus the WiFi but if you will not take those into consideration, which would be a better mobo..?

Would appreciate the help guyz....

The P5W DH is the 975 chipset, the P5B is 965. The 975 is Intel's performance chipset even after Bearlake is introduced next year. The P5W DH and P5B Deluxe both have eight phase power, the P5B does not. I've seen screenies of the P5W DH with over a 450 FSB, I don't think you will see that with either P5B borad. So P5B's are for value, P5W's are for performance and crossfire.
