The above page shows me 8 models of the same variation, I am about to buy this board but wondering what is the difference among all models.

I could only find that 965 based another 975 based with options in both of having Wifi onboard which I dont want since I have wifi networl alreday at my place.

Which one should I buy & what features are different 965 vs 975.

Thanks that mkaes sense now & reading about that I leran that I do not need the vanilla version since it does not allow raid0 to be setup with 2 internal HDD (one has to be external) another feature is Wifi which I dont need & this can connect only 2 Sata HDD internally. I may need more in furture so can you suggest me another version which suits me better?

This mobo also has Northbridge chip which is a crippled version of the one in the P5B Deluxe board. Memory voltage only goes to 2.1v at this time - some memory may have trouble - especially when overclocked.

chk the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. Its an excellent overclocker. Price is 11k

Even P5B Deluxe is an excellent OC. I guess better than DS3. Got it from Rashi Delhi

Yep thats the one. I got it for 14000. without Wifi.There is a simpler version as well just P5B for 9500 i guess. The only reason I opted for this board was because......it has the max FSB OC to 650 Mhz, plus 2 PCIE x16 slots for SLI (Though with hacked drivers but still I have an option to upgrade with an extra GPU later)

Sorry its with wifi.....and at NP you can get it for 13200....from rashi is expensive I dont know why.....
