ASUS P5GD1 vs P5GD1 PRO

[Ronin13]

What's the difference between these two boards?

P5GD1

P5GD1 PRO

As far as I can gather from the ASUS site (linked bove), the only difference is that the PRO doesn't have the ITE 8212F controller for IDE RAID. Is that right or have I missed something?

If I'm only planning on using a single harddisk (a SATA drive) and a single optical drive (an IDE or SATA DVD combo drive), is there any reason for getting the P5GD1 over the (cheaper) P5GD1 PRO?

yeah, that's the only difference.
and no, there's no reason for that purpose to get the regular over the pro.
