What's Hot

Has official support for a 1333MHz front side bus, Has built-in 802.11g wireless networking, Was reliable when overclocked

What's Not

Doesn't come with eSATA cables

The Final Word

All up, the P5K Deluxe represents the dawning of a new memory standard and faster throughput between Intel CPUs and their memory controller, but it's not ready for primetime yet. Our performance tests returned results that were slower than a comparable motherboard running DDR2 800MHz RAM and the same CPU speed. However, we're pleased with the board's reliability, especially when overclocking. If you're looking for the latest in tech gear and want guaranteed support for future Intel CPUs that will feature a 1333MHz front side bus, with memory that will run reliably at that speed, then this is a worthy upgrade.

Note: This product is no longer available directly from the manufacturer. It may be available in retail channels or second hand. The price displayed is the price at review time.
