Can't vouch for the other two, but the P5Q Deluxe is a rock solid board that can clock nice and high, the 12 power phases mean I have pretty much 0 vDroop (as far as CPU-Z reports anyway, although I will try again with the new CPU-Z to clarify)

Nice choice, mine booted first time and OCs like a dream.
how's that board running with the Q9550, just got 1 & looks like i need a new mb myself. interested in your feedback m8
Hi mate,
Was testing it over the weekend and i am very impressed with it.
Looks a lot better than the Abit IN9 32x it replaced.
Some really cool features like allowing you to surf the web and install drivers etc before you even boot into the os. It gives you this option when it posts.
I am using 4gb corsair dominator, 8800 ultra and an adpatec scsi controller and all runs great so far.
The io shield is handy as its padded so no sharp metal. And the copper heat sink comes with a optional small fan to help cool it. Also it looks a lot sturdier as the heat sink has a lot more support from under the mobo.
