I believe that is only major difference. Both boards have the 8 phase voltage regulator, a good thing. The P5B does not have this feature. Check the ASUS website under products.

Let's be very careful with these names. The vanilla P5B has problems the P5B Deluxe does not have, including overclockability. As I understand the debate, the community considers either the P5W or the P5B Deluxe to be the best C2D overclocker. This is in stark contrast to the regular ol' P5B, which is not recommended for overclocking at all!

But yeah, the big difference between the Wifi version and standard Deluxe is they want to charge you $40 for an onboard Wifi connection, when you can pick up a USB Wifi dongle or internal Wifi card for less than $20. Thumbsdown, says I.

Good! Thanks for clearing that up you guys. I was regreting about going with the none WiFi board, but now I feel better. Thanks again!

What about the P5B-E? Isn't it more like the Deluxe?
