Want a Mercedes?
(5 out of 5) by Garth Clark on Dec 10, 2008 (GLENDORA, CA United States)Here's what you've been looking for a long time. Accepts just about any 775 cpu,DDR2 memory,x16 PCIe graphics,overclocking software and a great bios set up (for those who know how to use it) to manually adjust output performance. This is rated as good as the Maximus Formula II (P45) and sells for a lot less. I have to say, no troubles what so ever and I highly recommend installing the AHCI SATA drivers when loading an OS, the hot plug features are enabled and the SATA II speed will run vs. EIDE mode.
Asus has a great reputation, they support their products very well with updates although their website is a slow poke most of the time. There's ton's of value in Asus products.

Great Mother Board
(5 out of 5) by ScottyDog on Oct 7, 2008I purchased the Asus P5Q-Deluxe from Amazon and could not be happier. Ar first they had it listed as the P5Q3 Deluxe but anyone with a little common sense would have known the price was too low for that board.
I used the Amazon chat service and they confirmed there was a typo. I ordered the P5Q-Deluxe and it arrived in 3 days with free shipping!
This motherboard has it all including Dual Gigabit Lan, 6 SATA II ports, 10 USB ports,Express Gate, 8-channel High Definition Audio and all the over clocking features you could want.
Asus is marketing all the "eco green" settings on this board that are nothing but nonsense. IMHO.
If you are into over clocking this board makes it simple. I currently am running a E8400 at 3.8mhz using the AI Tweaker Utility.
This board will satisfy any one who is looking for an all in one board that uses DDR2 memory.

A joke
(1 out of 5) by kryark on Jan 19, 2009 (Singapore, Singapore Singapore)Prior to buying this item I strongly urge you to read the current reviews on this motherboard. Particularly ASUS' own Forums.
While some of the other P5Q series seem to be ok, the P5Q Deluxe has many reviews about how unstable it is.
My own experience was as bad as it gets. The latest BIOS seems to be a particular minefield of problems, so stay away from that. you must also be highly technically competent to be capable of doing many of the things necessary to get the board stable, even in basic configuration. I never managed to get it stable, my average was about 15 mins between BSOD.
This board was the worst disaster that I've come across with motherboards and I hope you have more luck than I did.
I'm now running a Gigabyte board with all the same peripherals that DIDN'T work on the ASUS, and I've not yet had any problem.

Disappointed
(1 out of 5) by Richard Sickler on Oct 26, 2008This board was disappointing. I prefer Asus boards and this board with it's Intel Q9550 processor, dual Raptors in a raid 0, config, 8 GB of RAM, Windows XP x64 is an oinker compared the Asus A8N Sli Deluxe with AMD 4400, 4 GB, dual Raptors that it replaced.
The BIOS is definitely put together by a committee without much regard as to how the whole thing fits together.
The BIOS seems to forget any change to it's boot settings when power is removed.
In short, I'm disappointed. I expected better from Asus.

Amazon has stuffed this one up
(1 out of 5) by Andrew Trott on Sep 21, 2008 (Cambridge, MA USA)Amazon.com have advertised this MB as the P5Q3 deluxe, when in fact it just is not. Through many suppliers, they are supplying the P5Q deluxe. They have a responsibility to compensate the many customers they have inconvenienced, including me (twice now). I guess it's easy to say you just shouldn't touch this product on Amazon's system, but GO THROUGH SOME OTHER PROVIDER!
