Whew that was close.

Ordered a P5k Premium with a q6600 and then learned that I'm likely to have issues running two 750 gig WD's in RAID.

Changed it to the Deluxe which seems not to have that problem. Too bad as the Premium is a better board otherwise.

Odd...I have the Deluxe anyway so.....where did you see that issue? Isn't the chipset for the RAID still the same?

Only 750's? I have the 500's.

Here's some problems reported by Newegg customers.

The RAID controller is a different one, and apparently only works consistently with Seagate drives. ASUS isn't talking about this much, but it explains why the Premium I found was cheaper than the Deluxe.

Not good.

Well glad I got the Deluxe then. I would have figured they'd use the same RAID controller.
