or
Asus P6T Deluxe V2

 

[Drake2007]

which one has the better chipset ?

Rampage II Gene, definitely. The P6T Deluxe is a budget i7 board as far as I understand.

i have the v2. great board.

i am guessing that neither board is likely to hold you back.

Rampage II Gene, definitely. The P6T Deluxe is a budget i7 board as far as I understand.

There are three boards:

P6T
P6T Deluxe
P6T Deluxe v2

I am guessing you are talking about the 1st

Yeah, my apologies.

Both same performance, Rampage aimed more at gamers but certainly isn't going to give you better performance.

The deluxe comes with a beter bundle it has more expansion slots and beter I/O (2 gigbit lan) beter overclocking features

100% Correct.
I had the same choice to make...

Cool thing with the Rampage is the dual Bios thing. Other than that, performance etc is pretty much identical. There is a review on the V2 and the rampage somewhere. Even ocing ( Below like 3.6ghz ) The V2 was actually better.

I got the Gigabyte EX58-ud3r with a I7-920 - very happy with it!

Can't comment on the Asus stuff though.

Ive got the Asus P6t and I must say. Very nice...
Had a DFI X58 board B4 this and it was faulty
