looking for an Asus P5Q3 Deluxe

[morecowb3ll]

Anyone have one that is collecting dust / not using that they would be willing to part with?

I have some 775 equipment and since I am cheap, I was hoping to just find one of these old boards instead of buying new equipment

I have a P5N32-E SLI (can't recalling if it was Deluxe or Plus but it was the one that was all solid-state).

Can you check to see if it is a Plus? I think it is because of SS caps. It is labeled right next to the blue PCI Express slot closest to the CMOS Battery. I ask bc I read the non Plus models had capacitor problems.

Thank you

It's definitely a Plus then. It's the one that has a hybrid of nVidia chipsets so that a 650i is feature-equivalent to a 680i. As I recall, the unique chipset configuration means a bit of hassle for 64 bit drivers in Vista x64 (Asus only released beta drivers) but I think I got everything working in Windows 7 x64 before I retired it. I kept it around hoping to make a Windows XP gaming system out of it for old games someday. I have to see if my twin brother is willing to part with it because this stuff is collectively ours, but I'll let him know if you're still interested. It looks like it sells for almost what I paid for it in December 2006, but I wouldn't expect to get that for it. Shoot me an offer and I will ask my brother. It really has been collecting dust.

It sounds like you have the deluxe.

I'm pretty much doing what you were going to do. I'm going to make an XP box out of it so I can play XP games without having to use a virtual PC or something.

I'll pm you an offer for it.

the thing is, I don't need to have the p5n32 e. I'm doing an xp build and I'm cool with picking up a cheap old 775 board that people aren't using anymore. And there are a lot of boards that fit that description
