ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard

Anyone have any idea if the P45 or the X48 chipset is better??
Basically I think my mobo may be faulty and I want to try an asus anyway, never had one before.
The only thing is in the specs it says it has 8 sata 300's but I only see 4 am I blind??
Theres 4 on the reverse
what do u have with u right now and what r u looking for ...
anyways its a pretty average board out there .. u cud wait for a decrease in mobo prices come this september end i think ...
I've no experience of either chipset, but from the specs I'd have to say that the board you've shown there sounds better, handling dual channel DDR2 at 1200MHz vs 1066MHz.
I believe the other SATA 4 connectors are side on, 2 either side of the IDE connector, 2 red, 2 orange. If I'm wrong then I'm at a loss to figure out what else those connectors could be. :blink:
^ but shudnt he wait for DDR3 as its gonna get a lot cheaper a real soon
^^ Not if he wants to replace his mobo NOW.
i dont "NOW" mentioned in his post anywhere ..
Anyways if u dont want DDR3 then its a different ballgame as pointed out by lynx ..

a little more detail
Thanks guys. Well I could do it now or I could wait a bit. My current board is ok but I think it may be on its way out and I hate to be without a main computer for any amt of time. I do have my HTPC rig that works fine.
I am looking for something that will be a kick ass board that can overclock well. DDR 3 hmmm I don't know for sure yet I do like teh speeds but still Im unsure.
we've got the same board and i love mine. i have NO problems. what's wrong with urs?
