I've got an E6300 and I want to push it to 3GHz, which out of those two boards would be best considering I won't be pushing the CPU super hard?
In short, I don't want to pay out any more than I need to, so if the Vanilla P5B will do the job then I'll opt for that one, but if it won't then I'll splash the extra for the DS3.
Oh also what exactly is the difference between the vanilla and deluxe P5B?
 
Deluxe has ICH8R that supports RAID, Dual 16*PCI-E sockets for crossfire, Heatpipes, better VRMs, all solid capacitors, and black PCB obviously.

Both P5B and DS3 are capable of 400mhz+ FSB so depends which one you prefer.

Thanks, I have no need for Crossfire or RAID, so I'll go for the cheaper option :D
