Z68X-UD7-B3 vs. P67A-UD7-B3

Z68X-UD7-B3 vs. P67A-UD7-B3
« on: July 07, 2011, 05:49:54 pm »
Just as the subject says, what's the difference really between these two boards?

P67A: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128480

Z68X: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128499

Obviously one is P67 and one is Z68, but if the Z68 here doesn't use onboard graphics then what other distinctions would one board have versus the other?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte forum.

To be honest there is very little to choose between these two motherboards. As you mentioned the Z68 should ideally have the optional use of onboard grahics as well as being able to overclock. This however isn't the case and so if you fealt that it was important you would have to turn to a different model.

Z68 does support things like SSD caching etc as well...
