Which P5B to get?

[mVp24]

Well, Asus has put out like 6 different versions of their P5B and I need one. I've brought it down to P5B-E or P5B-Plus(Not P5B-E Plus)

Please...tell me which one to buy and why.

Thank you <3

As I can`t advise out of experience, I chucked a comparison thingy together.

Looks like one has a bit more connectivity going on straight from the box.

Other than that, I can`t say whether they match each other otherwize - without knowing I`d say they do. Perhaps one might have a slightly different bios with the connectivity, I dunno.

I was talking about the P5B-Plus and the P5B-E, not the Plus Vista Edition. Confusing aint it?

Eekek, I`ve got a feeling they`re all pretty much the same, just looks and connections. (and obvious stuff, but inherently the same `under the hood`)

Vista one got the "Vista Bios" in it when it ships ?

What do mobo manufs mean Vista Bios ? Acer have this too.

Normally means that they can charge a fair amount of money over the top of their standard product . There are some features that these boards provide over the normal variant such as an aux display but it varies from board to board so worth checking before you decide to hand over the extra cash.
