Ok I am rebuilding my work station that I use at work. This is the mother board that I am using now ASUS P5AD2-E-Premium Motherboard Intel 925X/XE Chip Set LGA 775 with Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.46 Gallatin 1066MHz FSB cpu with CORSAIR XMS PRO (4 x 512MB) DDR2 pc 5400 675mhz. My questions is there are 2 motherboard that I am thinking about Intel BOXD975XBX2KR LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard or ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard. I am looking for great overclocking and pc stability for this new motherboard build so let me know what you guys think!!!!!!

After my experience with the XBX2--I'd go Asus. The number of BIOS updates since this board came out should tell you they were to quick to release it before it was ready for primetime.
Intel D975XBX V306 BIOS 1479; Intel E6600; 4GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4D; ATI X1900XTX w/512MB; 150GB Raptor 10k RPM SATA HD; Corsair HX620 PSU; Vista Ultimate X32; Logitech MX1000 cordless kb/mouse; Logitech Ultra Vision Quickcam; Lian Li PC-V1200B;Samsung 226BW monitor.

I've had my XBX2 up and running now for almost 2 months and have had no problems. I'd use this mobo agian. Mildly OCing my E6700 to 3.0ghz. Very stable.
