Title: Product Reviews: Asus P5B-E Plus
Verdict: A good platform to base your LGA775 rig on, but not the board with which to test your CPU's limits.

Title: ASUS P5B (Intel P965 Express)
Verdict: ASUS P5B has shown high stability and superb performance level and has not yielded to any of the rivals. The package bundle is what spoils the impression a bit. Of course, the lack of an IEEE 1394 controller and the plate for a COM port can't be regarded

Title: ASUS P5B Deluxe: ATI CrossFire and Intel P965 Tango
Verdict: We previewed the ASUS P5B Deluxe in our Conroe Buyers Guide and were impressed with its features and performance even though we had a very early BIOS release. However, the launch price of near $250 placed it squarely in the middle of the 975X chipset boar

Title: Product Reviews: Asus P5B Deluxe
Verdict: A swift board with bags of useful features, but not one that's cut out for overclocking.
Summary: In terms of its layout, our only bug bear with the Asus is the position of one PCI slot. The first sits next to the first PCI-E x16 slot, so any modern card will render it unusable.

Title: Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi AP motherboard
Verdict: From the impressive audio to the slick memory handling I've yet to run into a flaw on this board. It didn't skip a beat no matter what was thrown at it and, for me at least, has earmarked itself as the Core 2 Duo board to own. ®

Title: Asus P5B-E Plus
Pros: Excellent overclocking potential, Good value for money
Cons: Only six SATA ports
Verdict: It's not brand new, but it's still a great choice - particularly given its 88% overclock possibilities
Summary: When we first took a peek at this board, we came away extremely impressed. With an awesome overclocking ability that's second only to Intel's new P35 chipset, it's arguable whether you need any more headroom from your motherboard at all
