Asus P5N-E SLI nForce® 650i SLI Chipset w/6-channel CODEC, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB

Or

Asus P5N32-E SLI nForce® 680i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB

Tell me how much better the one is from the other.
Thanks
 
Let me refraise that how much better is this

Asus P5N32-E SLI nForce® 680i SLI Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB

From this

Asus P5N-E SLI nForce® 650i SLI Chipset w/6-channel CODEC, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, IEEE-1394 Dual PCI-E MB
 
It depends...the P5N32-E has a different chipset (obviously) which gives it different features. The P5N32-E will allow 2 graphics cards to run at the full x16 speed in the PCI-E slots. The P5N-E board will allow SLI, however, the bandwith is shared and each card will run at x8. The P5N-E supports 4 PATA devices, and the P5N32-E only supports two. It just depends really what you plan on using it for...do you plan on running SLI? Do you plan on getting a Core 2 Extreme or quad-core CPU with this motherboard?
 
No i don't plan on getting a Core 2 Extreme or a Quad Core Processor, although i might be running SLI
So it doesn't matter which one i get becuase i dont plan on getting two Graphics cards
So if i where to get P5N32-E i'd be getting just as much out of it as i would with the P5N-E if i don't plan to run the above specs?
Because im really on a budget and if the P5N32-E is'nt really that much better should i just go with the P5N-E?
 
I own a p5n-e 650 mobo and its great beside teh sli x8 and x16 isn't really that much of difference at all so I would go ahead and buy that if you are on a budget
