So far so good

ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board has everything I would ask for. Its been running my conroe 6700 at 3 Ghz very stable. I don't do much that requires overclocking and to keep the heat down I don't push it, but I'm sure it would be stable far beyond 3Ghz. I did update the bios, but it ran the Conroe right outta the box. I love the AI Suite and the other software that came with this motherboard. My CPU temp is at 43c no load and never gets much over 50c running BF2.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Fits my hands very well, makes gaming much more fun and much easier than using a standard keyboard

Cons: No support for Windows 7 and since the company was bought out, there probably won't be any updates.

Pros: Lots of control through the BIOS for OC or getting RAM to run at advertised speeds. Very nice future options like USB 3 and Sata 6 GB/S.

Cons: Nothing has come up yet.
