The ASUS P8H67-M EVO is only USD 10 more expensive than the P8H67-M PRO/CSM, but brings far more features: one DisplayPort output, two FireWire ports, one PCI Express x1 slot, one eSATA-300 port, a far better voltage regulator circuit, more refined overclocking options, and the handy “GPU Boost” switch. Therefore, it provides, in our opinion, a better cost/benefit ratio than the P8H67-M PRO/CSM, as both motherboards are clearly targeted to the user who wants to build a small yet powerful PC or a small HTPC, and in both cases we believe users will want as many features as they can get.
