Better choice

[wolfy87]

What would be a better choice, I plan to oc (non extreme), play games, not RAID-ing, some programs, web surf...
Which of these boards is better for those purposes, have better OC options, better layout...

Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP or Abit IP35 Pro?

Some like asus; some abit. I would choose by price and features. Download the manual off the website and check the bios for adjustments, if you want to overclock.

If you're not going to use wi-fi, you also have the ASUS P5K-E.

Same here. No RAID will save your wallet at least $40. IP35-E is only $60 AR at NewEgg. IP35 with RAID, six SATA ports, and 1394a is $95 AR @ MWAVE. Both share the same major electronics as their big brother IP35 Pro.
