Well I've got a P5B Deluxe already and its been a great board. I'm running a Core 2 Duo on it now and I'm looking at getting a Q6600. If I have to I don't mind getting a new motherboard but I would rather wait for new video cards to come out first before considering a new motherboard, so it would be nice if I could get a few more miles out of my motherboard.

Will the P5B Deluxe become a bottle neck for the Q6600?

Thanks
 


Not at all. I ran an e6600 since the week it was released. I installed the Q6600 in April. This system is a blast since it grew up.
