Wow, it's great how prices are different depending where you live, just think if you had houses all over the world and had a butler at each one, you could order anything wherever it was cheapest, and have Jeeves FedEx it to you..

Sorry, deviated slightly, what I was going to say was that for that difference you may as well get the P5Q, as it has chipset superiority (P45 vs P43Express)

Basically how you want to think of it is like a car, the P5QL-PRO has a cheaper smaller engine, but the highest trim level, with leather seats and a better body kit etc.

However the P5Q has a bigger beastier engine, but a much lower trim, just the very basics to make it bearable.

Depends what you're after really..

That's a great motherboard for any use. More information: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131299 that's a good price for it. Also, take a look at here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...us+p5q&x=0&y=0 I'm not sure about that "turbo" -version, but probably it could be worth it to pay a little bit more.
