Difference between P5K DELUXE/WIFI-AP & P5K PREMIUM/WIFI-AP

[rogerwilker]

I am getting ready to upgrade my current ASUS board to a newer board. What is the difference or advantage of these two boards one vs other.

They both support Intel Duo 2 cpus. They both have dual gigabit ethernet. They both have only the keyboard interface. Must use usb for mouse. They both have e-sata and sata interfaces. 8 channel audio;they both can use the same memorly. They're five dollars apart in price on newegg. So why would one purchase the Premium over the Deluxe?

well first of all if u want to upgrade your motherboard , get P5K-E instead of DELUXE , its cheaper and the difference is that P5K DELUXE has one more copper and also one more GIGABIT LAN ,

but for P5K DELUXE VS PREMIUM , i think PK5-PREMIUM is more expesive because of this :
