Given the overwhelming diversity of P45 based motherboards, I thought it would be helpful to have a selection chart for all motherboards that use this chipset.

I started by sorting the offering by Gigabyte, grouping first by memory type, number of PCI-E x16 slots (crossfire capability), and RAID support.

***Edit*** Added charts for Asus

This chart sorts the Gigabyte motherboards that are designed solely for DDR2 memory


This one sorts the Asus motherboards that are designed solely for DDR2 memory


This one sorts the Gigabyte motherboards designed for DDR3 memory and combined for DDR2 & DDR3 memory


Finally, this one sorts the Asusmotherboards designed for DDR3 memory and combined for DDR2 & DDR3 memory


For future reference, these charts were prepared based on the product comparison sheet as published by gigabyte's website on March 16th 2009.
For Asus, the data was obtained on MArch 16th 2009, from http://usa.asus.com/products_compare.aspx

When a same model was published in Gigabyte's website with more than 1 revision, I only considered the latest.

Thanks! I'd always found their product line confusing. This makes it clearer. +rep.

So does the EP45T-UD3P overclock just as good as the the EP45-UD3P?

Well, the sole difference between these 2 motherboards is that the EP45-UD3P is made for DDR2 while the EP45T-UD3P is made for DDR3.

I would think that they have different overclocking abilities, since frequencies are different between DDR2 and DDR3.
