ASUS P5QL-SE S775 P43
or
Asus ExpGate P5Q PRO P45

The P43 cost $130
and
The P45 cost $209

Which one should i geT? Is it worth gettin the p45 over the p43 paying $79 extra?

Thank you.

What processor are you planning to use? Video card? I'm sure you can get a more affordable P45 motherboard that suits your needs but won't break your bank.

EDIT: Also, if all you need is a P43, there you have it. Are you looking for a mobo with some upgrade room?

I have the ASUS P5Q SE\R with a E7200 running at 1600fsb 3.8ghz vcore 1.29 31c idle and 53c full load. I have the ANTEC 1200 and the Vendetta 2 Cpu cooler. You can get the mobo for 130$ and the CPU for 130$ both in canadian $. The CPU cooler around 40$ I believe. Then in 2 years time you can swap in the most powerful quad core 775 socket you can find and get another 2 years out of your rig. For the memory I bought ballistix tracer ddr2 800mhz 2x2gb for around 70$ canadian. You can tighten the timings to 4 12 12 12 by increasing the voltage to 2.0 v OR you can increase the speed to 1066mhz by increasing the voltage to 2.0v. I haven't tried higher but it seems there is still a bit of room. Later on in a few years you can add 2 more sticks to get 8gb. Don't waste your money.

Sounds about right... you can go with moonblood's example and forget about the P43.

Well you should have got this...

E8400 + P43 + 4870 1GB
But as you have the graphics card, Get E7400 + P45 (with 2 pcie slots)...

Reason - could allow future crossfire of the 4870
