C2D Overclocking Guide

According to the C2D Overclocking guide, they don't recommend the P5B "vanilla". Anyone know the reason why? I plan on getting this motherboard and I want to know if it would be a good idea or not.

Any help is appreciated.

The P5B plain does not offer ASUS 8 phase voltage capability. The P5B Deluxe and up do. The enhanced voltage capability greatly enhances overclocking ability.

I have the p5b vanilla, and my e4300 is at 3Ghz. Can't get it to boot much higher though. (AFpro7) so it's ok for moderate OCs.
I think there's meant to be new p5b bioss coming out sometime that might make them better OCers, but i am unsure.


I kinda wish i got the DS3.
