What does the P8B75-M LE offer you that the P8Z77-V LX does not? The first is a mATX board and the second ATX.

Yeah I'm wondering what the point of this swap is also

But you already have the board you're looking to replace. How is that going to save you money?

I get the impression he's putting together a build. If that's the case, I think the P8B75-M LE would likely be fine for a basic system.

What do you think of this Asus P8Z68-V LX with the I5-3550 ?

Is it a good motherboard ?

What is the difference between Z68 and Z77 ?

Thank-you !

Z77 is newer and better and cost difference is negligible to non-existant. Go with the 77

I used to go through this nit-picky exercise in the '90s.

I'd look through Computer Shopper and other sources, just pick the cheapest board I could find, and build the computer.

It depends on what you want to do with it. I've even over-clocked some low-end Gigabyte LGA-775 boards -- brand-new mATX boards at $85 each. They're still running strong as I speak.

I love my Z68 board -- P8Z68-V Pro. But if I were building this year, I'd get a Z77 board -- probably ASUS. There are a range of offerings at different prices, varying by features, number of PCI/PCI-E slots and so forth. There are Z77 mATX boards available.

The P8B75-M doesn't exactly have stellar "customer-reviews," although the latter have never been touted as the most reliable information. I could see how I might buy a board like that, if I were building a machine for a family member for web-surfing and mainstream computing tasks, but I'd look a bit more closely at that board against others before shelling out the $80 bucks . . . I think . . .
