I'm putting together another gaming machine, and was thinking about playing it safe and just going for the abit ic7 mobo, but then decided to check things out.

The Asus P4P800 and P4C800 look like very possible candidates, but what supprised me was this:

The P4P800 (i865PE) totaly ownz everything including its counterpart the P4C800 (i875)!

What gives....i thought the 875 chipset was supposed to be a 'little' faster than the previous chipsets!

Yeah the 875 should offer some perfomace boosts, and supposedly can handle voltage better. I say go fot the IC7-G MaxII

Thats what i thought up until today...but did you check out that link. The king of the castle is the i865PE

thats against the regular IC7-G not the MaxII. There the same chipset, but the MaxII peforms better. (Im not sure exactly what the changes are)

:Edit:- Just started a thread to ask what the main differencs are, because im looking to get one myself.
