Sorry if this has been posted already, but ...

Is there a difference between these two boards with regards to performance? Is the only difference certain features like Wi-Fi, more slots, etc?

Thanks.
 
For starters:

P5B - ICH8
P5B Deluxe - ICH8R
P5B-E - ICH8R

Performance wise, they should be very similar at the same clock speeds. They are all P965 based motherboards.

less voltage options on the standard P5B (at least it was the case with the initial boards/bios's)
 
P5B-Deluxe and P5B-E are hitting similar clockspeeds (~500ish). Newer BIOS revisions on the P5B-E give it similar voltage options to its bigger brother. The regular P5B isn't known to overclock as high.

One of the bigger differences to a vain snob like me is the horrible mustard color on the P5B-E. That would, like, so not match my case!

Hahahaha. :)

Thanks guys.
 
Got my P5B-E today from the 'Egg. Was sorta disappointed to find it is a 1.01g rev board. I was hoping they were all out of the system by now and they would be shipping 1.02g and up.

Oh well.
 
Asus P5B-E Deluxe and Regular Mobo .. Can i hook up an IDE DVD Burner and a Floppy drive having either one of these motherboards without buying a controller card. Thanks

Yeah. Try taking a look at a photo of either of these boards ;)
 
Yes, they both have 3rd party IDE controllers. They just aren't part of the Intel ICH anymore like previously.
