Two weeks ago, my P8P67 Pro went to service because of PCI-E ports trouble...
Today, Asus tech support: "Your P8P67 Pro board is beyond repair, want your money back, a new board or a different board of choice, just pay/get back the difference?" Me: "Ummm... hell yeah, gimme a Z68 board!"
So, what should I take... P8Z68-V, P8Z68-V Pro, or just the same P8P67? The P8Z68-V Pro will require $70 difference to be paid and P8Z68-V will require $55 and I REALLY doubt it's worth it. I have the money, but I'm greedy On the other hand, I'd love to switch to the newer chipset and have Intel's IGP enabled just in case. What's the difference between P8Z68-V and the Pro version? What do these boards have that P8P67 Pro doesn't?
Asus's "Compare" tool is AGAIN messed up... I hate their website! Any suggestions? I'm going through the thing manually right now, but I'd like some input, too. Never turn down advice... (Disregard the P8Z68-V LE on the picture, I dismissed it... )
Basically, I need the board that will be identical or better than P8P67 Pro in terms of features (need Bluetooth, USB 3.0 AND the front connector for it, SATA 6 Gb/s, SLI support, etc.). OR a solid explanation why I won't gain anything new from Z68 besides the IGP (I will use an SSD in the future, so maybe Z68's caching thing will help?) I don't mind paying for better stuff, but I want to make sure it's worth it.
