Hello,
I am aware this topic has been discussed before but with different variables i assume.
I am looking to do a purchase between one of these two products:
- Asus P5Q Deluxe
- Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P (rev 1.6)
I cannot make up my mind between any of the two, they're both priced approximately the same, the Asus looks much cooler but the Gigabyte has the 2 OZ copper feature which is quite impressive.
Other then that they have minor features differences such as SATA and Q-connect.
I will not be doing any overclocking for i do upgrade on a yearly basis and this machine will move on to family members, so longevity is important as much as stability is.
I will not use the crossfire feature, and this board will be running inside a Koolance metal bone k7 case, Q9550 D0 processor, 8gb of DDR2-1100 G.Skill (5-5-5-15), and a sapphire 4870 1GB.
Your call Tom's Hardware, thanks.
