In simple terms, p67 supports dual-card interconnection and overclock, but does not support display output. h67 is just the opposite. Z68 is a collection of all functions of p67 + h67, with the addition of the disk cache technology, in combination with SSD to enhance disk performance, it is the flagship model of 6 series motherboard. H61 is the reduced version of h67, which reduces the SATA 6.0 Gbit/s interface and does not support disk arrays. For the lga1155 CPU support, the four main boards are the same, and the performance gap is also very small.
