asus p4p800 deluxe.

great motherboard with excellent monitoring tools. the best part is that editing of the bios can be done from windows. definitely an excellent buy, and it's selling for like 125 at newegg. it's an intel 865 chipset, which is the second best you can get for intel chips. the only problem that i have with it is that it reads temperatures about 5 C hotter than they actually are.

Asus P4P800 gets my vote too! 2nd best? I don't consider the 875 really "better"...the only big difference is support for ECC, which us overclockers and gamers don't use anyways. That's for high end business grade workstation stuff.

I agree cat, plus the fact that it supports Serial ATA Raid which I use, but it isn't really that much faster than IDE Raid. I do love my my Asus P4C800-E Deluxe though.:D

The p4p800 deluxe has sata raid support If I'm not mistaken

As does the P4P800 non-deluxe.
