Asus P5Q-SE

Hi, I'm new here. I searched the forums for this specific mobo but got no results. Does anyone have any opinions about it? Any negative points? I configured a gaming PC online and picked this board along with a Q9650. For starters I'm only putting in 4GB of RAM. The PC will primarily be used for flight sims. I may eventually want to OC the processor up to 3.5 to 4.0 GHz. Here's a link to the mobo specs. Please let me know if there is anything wrong about it for my application.

It looks like pretty damn good value. Cheaper than a lot of the P43 boards.

Overclocking options are probably a little sparse, tho it should still have enough to get a Q9650 to 3.5ghz without any problems.

Thanks Cob, 3.5GHz should suffice for FSX but I was hoping to reach about 4.0GHZ. I'm a novice at this and when shopping for a mobo I was thinking more about this one's RAM capability (16GB RAM max caught my eye) than overclocking anything. But RAM ain't everything...........

Thanks again,

16gb memory is a standard feature of all the P45 based boards.
