no to the windows xp recongnizing 4gb of ram, you need 64-bit. i prefer the asus p5b motherboards they are good but others will suggest better overclockers. but for a mild overclock asus will defiinitly be a good choice New PC - Need Parts Advice
Asus is a solid choice. P5B Deluxe would definitely not dissapoint. If you didn%26#39;t need something that fancy, you could look at the P5B-E. That%26#39;s what I%26#39;ll be purchasing next month.
Yep the P5B-E is a really nice board. And it%26#39;s just a little over 100 bucks so it%26#39;s great in the value department too.
The P5B-E costs about $40 (Canadian) more than the P5B. Looks like the only difference is 7 SATA instead of 5, RAID support and Firewire. I%26#39;m not planning to use RAID, won%26#39;t need more than 5SATA devices and have firewire on my Audigy card... If overclocking capabilities and stability are comparable, I think I%26#39;m better off with the P5B.Is the stock HSF good enough for an OC to 2.66GHz?
The stock HSF should be fine as long as you don%26#39;t need to raise the voltage to get it to 2.66. And as far as the P5B vs the P5B-E, the P5B-E has a little better OC potention iirc.
Yes asus P5B deluxe is very good but you can also try an gigabyte 965P-DS4
