bit-tech Review: Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi

[Chierin]

We'd like to say that this is ridiculously expensive but when the Striker Extreme arrived several months ago at £230 we thought the same of that, but Asus sold them as fast as it could make them. Obviously, quite a few of you must have considered this hefty sum reasonable value for money and will probably think the same of the P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n.

If you're already prepared to drop several hundred on DDR3 anyway, then your budget should already be large enough to accommodate this, and in that respect it's quite well suited, just as long as you don't short change yourself on the CPU and graphics front. This is a board for those where money is no object in your next upgrade. If you're after a good all-rounder that's packed to the gills with features, this will absolutely be the motherboard for you. For those looking for something a bit more fiscally conservative, don't worry because the Maximus and normal Deluxe should be far cheaper.

So is the P5E3 Deluxe WiFi-AP @n the ultimate motherboard? Quite likely. But at the ultimate price? Most definitely.
