I am just ordering a new mother board + pro.
I have sold my Asus p4pe and 2.4g P4(533).

I am thinking of buying a
MSI 865PE Neo 2-FIS2R.

but I dont know if
MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R
is a better choice, is the intel 875 chipset much better on performance.

Ive heard that the 875 has better memory management but I have heard
that the 865 has been brought up to the same spec. PAT enabled or something

The MSI 865PE Neo-2 only costs 75 pounds in England from scan.
That is stupidly cheap.

Are there any other boards around which I should consider ?
My new processor im getting is a p4 2.6 (800 mhz). Ive heard
the new MSI boards are really nice I normally only go Abit / Asus / gigabyte.

The canterwood and springdale are the best. I suggest the Canterwood though. Abit IC7

For speed and price, the 865PE Neo2. It was as of 2 months ago, the fastest board out of all 875P and 865PE boards.

For stability and features, the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP.
