I have heard that the P5E is a better overclocker than the DQ6.. is this true? would it be more stable?

well in those reviews the DQ6 seems better but idk if it worth the extra cash

jds21 · Jan 14, 2008, 09:47 PM

you are right, there isn't very much difference at all.. $345 compared to $287 makes the ASUS the clear winner... thanks

panchoman · Jan 14, 2008, 11:25 PM

lol jds, nothing's wrong with generously using the thanks button, in fact, its a great way to properly credit people for helping you, that is its whole point

, and as DOM said, good luck with the build, and let us know how it goes!
