What do you think of this motherboard: ASUS P5Q WS P45

Did you look at the -E?

I like mine. I don't think the WS board has been out long. I don't see anything on it to justify the price hike... but then I note the -E has gone up 10 bucks.

Yeah, I've been looking at that one as well and its starting to sound like the better option. I rather prefer the SATA setup on the WS board, but it's probably not worth the additional $.

I understand the BIOS is still immature for the P45 boards. Did you have any issues? Compatibility with your RAM, for instance?

I had some RAM issues, but they were due more to bad RAM.

I bought a 2x2 kit of OCZ Reaper 1066. I could never get it stable at any speed over 800. OCZ tried to help but in the end I decided it wasn't worth the hassle to RMA.

I never really wanted to run the PC over the 400 FSB mark. I just wanted to know I could.

I did in fact have it up to 533, the RAM just wasn't stable at those speeds.

3.6ghz is insanely fast anyway  

One other issue... I had the same problem as the guys that did the review at some other site. I could not get Crysis to run and it said it had detected emulation software. After going around with the support guy at the place that makes Crysis' anti-theft software (Securom), they finally gave me a new Crysis.exe that solved the problem. They would not explain why it happened, and other people have not had that problem, so I don't know.
