Hai...:)
Im building a game rig and was adviced to go for Asus P5Q-E or Asus P5Q-Pro. Now, when I checked their website, the only difference I was able to spot was 'E' supports 3 PCI express cards & 'PRO' supports 2 PCI express cards and some diff. in LAN, teaming and redundant ( which Ive no idea):no: ...

Is that all a difference between these two boards?

Coz, if there is no major difference I wud opt for the lower priced one... Asus P5Q-PRO;) . There is a Rs.2000 difference between the two... which I consider is significant...

check this out for the prices...:D

@sexysexy123 ---> I'm using ASUS P5Q-Pro with Q9550 ( 8.5 x 333 original clock) and I've oced my Processor to 4 ghz ( 8.5 x 472) at only 1.32 vcore..... awesome board IMO....go for it.....

that HAF 932 is good cabby

also, I've my 4870, 1 GB on sale here if you're interested
 
^^ +1 (if u can get it here for a reasonable price)

Im using Pro and i must say its a great board for its price, besides u can upgrade to a modded BIOS which brings all the options and features of E/Deluxe. so go for that :)
 
Hey zanderzone, I just got meself a P5Q Pro to go with my Q9550 and since your's is the same main setup ('cept for RAM maybe), could you please share your complete BIOS setting as used to achieve the 4GHz OC? TIA!

And thanks for the link to the modded BIOS. Will try it out soon :)
