cyclonefr Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Hey, I thought it was time for me to buy a new PC, and eventually a new motherboard. I was thinking about the Asus P5W DH Deluxe, it seems to be "fashion" nowadays. So, what do you think about this one ? I really want one of the best to overclock a Core2Duo. I used to buying ABIT motherboards to overclock, but it seems Asus is the best. Finally, I really want a stable motherboard not only for MacOS (yes, I want it to be fully compatible, but I think the ASUS is fine) but for Windows too. Basically, is it the best to overclock, to use OSX and Windows ? Or is it too old ? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hackintom Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 P5W-DH is rock solid and hasslefree with osx86. I own one. But, the OC potential is not so great. A P5B Deluxe would be better for OC. I'd recommend a Bad Axe II. Such a good board, great OC, almost everything working out of the box... like the P5W-DH but with greater OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 And what about the WIFI on bad axe 2 ? I know the one with the P5W works, not straight out of the box but with some 3rd party drivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
