Opinions on the P4P800-VM AND THE
P4R800-VM. Which would be the best
board?? I am looking to get a new board
and etc. I do want built in video and
audio. Thanks.

I have read about troubles with fsb800 cpu on P4R800. With a fsb533
cpu it runs fine. So I would choose the P4P for a fast cpu.

I think you should consider a motherboard with the newer 915G chipset.

Per example Gigabyte 8I915G-MF

http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-8I915G-MF.htm

It takes a P4 Prescott 530 3.0 GHz and faster, socket 775.

It has sata, just one IDE port though, and a better onboard graphics
than probably also P4R's radeon 9100.

best regards

John

You are kidding right?

The P4R800-VM is even Prescott rated. I have had a 2.8GHz 800FSB P4 (non
Prescott) in mine since Feb.04. What are these "troubles" ?

It runs 2Gb PC2700, and 8x AGP ATI 9800Pro, no problems.

Had a nightmare trying to get mine to run with PC3200. Power cycled itself
every 20 minutes or so.

When I switched to PC2700 memory the machine became stable. Running like a
dream now.
