That's the p5b - without the 8 phase design. What have you heard about stability on the Deluxe? (There is the deluxe and the deluxe-wifi).

The p5b gets raves from some but I hate it.  Stability leaves a lot to 
desire and on the deluxe the wireless is a completely worthless usb adapter 
sautered onboard with garbage performance and big cpu demands....

What is the feedback on the P5B - Deluxe in regards to the 8 phase power

design? Any real world benefit, overclocking, stability, etc? My only nix 
on
the DS3 is that it uses (from what I can tell) a jmicron raid controller 
and

not the ICH8R/ICH8DH/ICH8DO
