P5B versus DFI Infinity

LordShadow · 21 Jun 2006 at 17:52

Looking at these two boards the only real difference I can see is that the Infinity is based on the 975X chipset and the ASUS P5B on the 965 Chipset.
Will this make much difference? Is the 975X much better for overclocking?

If u want to overclock The DFI is King

Not sure but theres another thread about the DFI and apparently it goes upto 600MHZ FSB

Yeah I saw that, but is it really that realistic to reach an FSB that high on air cooling? I mean I know Conroe looks good but surely we arent going to be seeing an FSB over about 400?

P5B? pfft

P5W DH Deluxe for the win.. (abbreviation gets starred? rofl wtf)

Well yeah obviosuly ideally I would go for that, but I'm thinking of going for maybe the P5B to last me until the LanParty comes out becuase thats the board I definitley want, having had the Lanparty NF4.
Any thoughts?
