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.

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.
