What are the 7 differences?

[Fenikske]

Could someone tell me what are the differences between these Asus boards

a - Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe
b - Asus M2N32-WS Professional

I know the price is!
But what dose the PRO do more, or the DELUXE less?

I have looked around in the specks, and I can’t find great differences
But then again I am not a great hardware wizard.


Thx

Without *actually* reading the spec sheets (It' Sunday afternoon....), usually the workstation motherboards have:
1. PCI-X slots (for RAID cards, network cards). PCI-X is usually found on server motherboards, seldomn on gaming/enthuast boards
2. Handle ECC memory for enhanced stability (a bit like servers)
3. Don't support SLI (you want to buy 2 Quattro 4500's at $1k+ each?!!!!).

There are probably lots of exceptions, but that's where you can start looking for differences.

Its not so much what one does that another one doesn't, its more so that one has one set of features for gaming, the other has a set of features for workstations.

Tanks for the tips,

For me it’s gaming so my chose will be the DELUXE.


(But it would be best to wait until the end of December, yes?)
