Motherboards
Asus P5K-E WiFi-AP, P35 chipset (Sponsored by Asus)
Asus P5W-VM, G965 chipset (Sponsored by AMD. Yeah, that AMD)
Hardware
Intel E6600 2.4GHz dual-core processor, stock cooler
2x1Gb Mushkin DDR2-800 RAM (Sponsored by Mushkin)
Seagate 750gb SATA Barracuda HDD (Sponsored by Seagate)
PNY GeForce 8800 GTX XLR8 Overclocked Edition (Sponsored by PNY)
OS and Drivers
Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (Sponsored by Microsoft)
ForceWare 163.75
All benchmarks have been performed three times, and the results averaged.
The memory was manually set to its default timings of DDR2-800, with 4-4-3-10 on both boards.
General Benchmarks
SiSoft Sandra
SiSoft's benchmarking suite may be a little quick-and-dirty, but it's popular and does a good job of predicting overall application performance. The bandwidth results are in MB/seconds, and higher is better.

x264 Benchmark
This test transcodes an MPEG-2 clip into an HD x264 clip five times and tabulates the results as FPS. It's designed for multi-core processors and accurately measures video processing speeds. The two results are in FPS, and higher is better.

You made the comment that the P5B-VM and P5K-E boards were running almost the same benchmarks. Take a look at your CPU and RAM. The CPU max fsb is 1066, and the RAM is ddr2 800. That is the max for the P5B. Of course it will run the same on the P5K, it is limited by the CPU and RAM speeds. Why not try an E8400 (fsb 1333) and DDR2 1066 on the P5K and re-run those benchmarks?
