I'd recommend this instead.  The Asus isn't bad, though. I thought you were just blindly spending $110 on a name, rather than a product, and I wanted to prevent that.

The PT800 does kick much ass though. And my link above will get you a $59 PT800 board.

And spend your extra bucks on a new case! Sheesh kebab that thing's ugly!

Pshhh, now you guys are making recommendations, 5 days after I ordered my new MB + CPU :(

Oh well, I'm pretty confident with my decision:

P4P800SE ASUS MB
Intel Prescott 2.8E (1gig cache/800FSB)
2 sticks of PC3200 256mb DDR RAM

E-BONER! :o

Yeah, Sancho. Sounds like you made a sound decision there. B)
It's twice as clear as heaven and twice as loud as reason.

Well...I'd like to think so :)

The problem is that I decided at the last minute to spend the extra 100 or 150 bucks to go intel instead of AMD.  Finally making the switch after being fed up with all the problems on past AMD computers and on my parents' new AMD barton that likes to randomly reboot while I'm playing NS.

It looks like they're saying "Up to 200 MHz FSB" here. That confused me a bit. My mistake.

That's fine for me. I use two sticks of 512 MB. 1 GB is more than enough for me.
