P5B Premium

Are these meant to replace the P5B, P5B-E, and P5B deluxe? what are the differences between the p5b vs. p5b plus, p5b-e vs. p5b-e plus, p5b deluxe vs. p5b premium?

All P5B are really obsolete and being phased out. They are being replaced by the P5K P35 Bearlake available momentarily or on May 22, 2007 when the NDA expires.

The P5B Plus have been available for some times now in Asia and Europe but not in the US until now. The vanilla P5B Plus has the ICH8R southbridge (raid) while the non plus has no raid.

P5B-E Plus is not available in the US that I know of.

For whatever reason Newegg from NJ is still shipping P5B-E version 1.01G. See my review at Newegg. I got a couple 1.01G in the last 6 months.

i think the main difference is the solid caps.

But the new mobos will suffer from price markups, and low stock availability.
