Again our Asus P5K Deluxe beats out our comparison board by a second, although with the two boards we have here, we expect the Asus to win if only by virtue of it's newer technology.

Barely any difference here, as during the tests themselves, the boards pretty much trade blows on each function with the outcome being that the P5K yet again assumes the lead.
