The motherboards in question are; P5B Deluxe & AW9D Max which would you choose? At the moment I’ve a QX6700 in the Asus and an e2140 in the Abit. Thanks.

Thanks just what I thought Found a nice benchmark on toms hardware and the P5B 965 Chipset came out on top Looks like I won’t be switching them around afterall!
