Are the motherboards the same all over?

[jimmyj68]

Is there any electrical difference between the motherboards sold in the UK (220 volts 50 cycles) and those sold in the US?

It appears that you can order an Intel DP965LT motherboard from the overclockers UK though ther are none available stateside. If I ordered the board will it function normally in the US?

Should be the same.

I ordered a Asus P4GPL-X from China, because they werent sold here, and it works fine with uSA components.

The boys over at xtremeystems.org did a bulk buy of Asus P4GD1's from Europe when Dothan overclocking was the craze. Worked fine.

Cool, thanks - now to try and figure how much more it will cost me ordering from the UK instead of waiting until the "marketers" deem it appropriate to sell the board stateside.

Hi, Should be no difference. Just be sure to get one that fits your case and has the features you want.

Good Luck, Jim

The power differences dont apply to anything but the power supply for the most part, and many can take 120 or 220V based on a switch in the back anyways. Once you send the 120/220 in the back out comes 3.3,5,12V which is the same for all computer components.
