If you are not on a tight buget then you might want to consider this board. I think the only difference is the chipset but that makes a big difference. However the board you choose is all very good.

very nice .. does it come with the pro .. or have you looked into the price of the processor .. boards come fairly cheap nowadays... the price is all on the processor's ...

i had aload of p4 boards well nice but the going price for them was about Ł15 to a seller .. then i looked into the pro so i could build a few up ..and the lowest p4 pro was about Ł200 upto Ł800 ..

I think that board is about $150 dollars, the price might have gone down the last time I looked.

I guess the prices have gone down, it really depends on your bugets personally I think this is probably one of the best boards.

The P4P800 is a nice board. I use one everyday in a test environment. Have not had any major problems. I like the P4P800 over the MSI 865PE or the Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000, although each of these boards have performed very well.

I don't use them for gaming though, so I wouldn't know the performance from this perspective.

I just put in a P4C800-E deluxe. Don't know how well it performs against yours but I can tell you I am very happy with mine!

I am an avid Asus fan and have used their boards exclusively for quite sometime. While there are others on the market I have found Asus boards to be the most feature packed boards available on the market and have never had one fail.
