The Asus P5K3 Deluxe WiFi-AP edition motherboard comes with integrated WiFi, which can be configured in software access point or station mode. Like most high-end motherboards, this also has a heat pipe running from North to South bridge, but unlike others, it has an extra fan mounted over the heat pipe for extra cooling. The board supports up to 8 GB DDR3 RAM, has 2 PCIExpressx16, 2 PCI Express xl, and 3 PCI 2.2 slots along WITH DUEL Gigabit LAN controllaer. It has 6 SATA ports. 1 RAID 0 and 1. Plus, it supports 2 external SATA PORTS. 1 Fire Wire, and 6 USB 2.0 / 1.1 PORTS it doesn't have a PS2 port for mouse so one needs to get a USB mouse to work with.
The performance of this motherboard is good.We tested it with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR3 RAM and an ATI Radeon X1950 series graphics card. In 3DMark05 and 06, it scored 12746 and 6538, respectively, which are good scores. As compared to Gigabyte P3 5-DQ6 (also reviewed this month) the performance is a little better.

In PCMark 05 also, it scored 7019 PCMarks, which is better than most high-end motherboards. In Doom 3, this motherboard clocked up to 216 fps and its score in CINEBENCH10 was also very good.
