The birth of Intel?s new Conroe processor architecture has been creating quite a buzz throughout the computer world. The new P5W DH Deluxe is the third ASUS motherboard designed using the Intel 975x chipset and it is easily their best version yet, and given how good past versions have been, this is quite the claim. This latest version is also very different from previous 975x motherboards as it seems to be designed to accommodate everyone's needs. And when I say everyone, I actually mean everyone that is willing to splurge $250 on a motherboard. So for those that can manage the price tag, they will certainly enjoy all that this motherboard has to offer. Designed for the new Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme processors, the P5W DH Deluxe has a number of features that make it suitable as a workstation, a gaming platform, a small office/home office computer or the hub of a home theater system.

The Asus P5W DH Deluxe showed itself to be every bit as powerful as Intel's own D975XBX "Bad Axe" motherboard throughout of entire battery of tests. In our Office, PhotoShop and Windows Media Encoders tests, the Intel board had a slight advantage, while the Asus P5W DH took the lead by a hair in our gaming and synthetic benchmark tests. All told, performance deltas, between virtually all of the 975X Express based motherboards released for the Core 2 Duo, are going to be minimal.
