    1080p vs 720p comparison outside of resolution

    P5E-VM vs P5K-VM for oc'ing differences for Q6600?

    I'm basicly just wanting to know the rundown on which one would offer more features in the bios and how limiting 1 is over the other. I will not be using the onboard video but just mainly concerned with the oc'ing potential of one over the other with a Q6600. The P5E-VM appears to have better...
