I am looking at the X58A-UD3 and UD5, which go for about $245 and $330 respectively, here in japan.

From what I understand, the difference is that the X58A-UD5 has better voltage regulators, a clear cmos button and an on/off button.

Does anyone have an opinion about the usefulness or necessity of these extra features?

Also, does anyone know if the Asus P6T has better voltage regulators than the X58A-UD3?

Thanks so much in advance for any input...

I do know the UD4 is the same as the UD5 board but cheaper and both board will operate with the extreme bios of the UD5.
