“EVO” is a new designation for ASUS. I remember it used to be so simple. There was “Product Name” and “Product Name Deluxe”. Sometimes there was a “Product Name SE”. Now it seems like they need to have 18 different suffixes to help users figure out their huge P55 product line. It makes me want to yell at their product management team, “IT’S ONE CHIPSET!!” Here’s the whole lineup:

P7P55D LE
P7P55D
P7P55D Pro
P7P55D EVO
P7P55D Deluxe
P7P55D Premium
P7P55D WS Supercomputer
Maximus III Formula

IT’S ONE CHIPSET!! 8 BOARDS! They don’t even have an mATX board! Gigabyte at least has that excuse for having 6 boards (two mATX, and distinctly different feature sets throughout). MSI seems to have the cleanest lineup with eVGA committing the “too many boards” sin as well…
