    Which of these ASUS is better?

     
    ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
    Newegg.com - ASUS M4A79T Deluxe AM3 DDR3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
    • Has a nice combo deal with PII955 BE
    ASUS M4A78T-E
    Newegg.com - ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards
    • Has D-Sub + DVI & HDMI
    Prices are somehow the same (if I get the mentioned CPU). Just not sure of what I should get.

    Also, can someone explain the Phase Xtreme Power Design? Even I can realize that 2>1... but I just don't know what that does.

    Thanks in advance to any reply/comment.

    You need to look at the options/features to see mobo one works best for YOUR needs..

    Example: One has onboard video and an IDE channel - the other one doesn't.

    Steve: Thanks for your reply. I guess I don't really need the onboard video, as I'm planning to buy a GPU anyway. As for the IDE, I'm not sure I'll be using it or not.
    I'm not sure of what the D-Sub is for and, as I said, the Phase Xtreme.

    D-Sub is the old School VGA Display connection, its technical name, like DVI and HDMI.

    the Phase Xtreme, from what I gather is Asus's variation on cleaner electrical signal components and cooling of mosfets, etc, MSI's is Dr MOS or something, Gigabyte calls it something else, etc etc.

    this link briefly explains what it is, from one of their board designs, ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

    ShyguyXPC: Silly me, I had looked down the ASUS webpage, but didn't try to look for their explaination of Phase Xtreme. Thank you for providing me the link as well as a brief idea of what it is.
