I'm building a new computer primarily for photo and video editing. I've
decided on a Pentium 4 2.8 processor with 800mh bus speed and have already
purchased 4-256mb sticks of Kinston dual channel 400mh ddr ram. My only
question is which motherboard to use. New Egg lists several Intel boards
that fit my needs. I've narrowed it down to a couple with the major
difference between them being the chipset. One uses an 865pe chipset the
other an 875p. There is almost a $50 difference between them. Is there much
performance or stability gained going to the more expensive 875p? Thanks in
advance for any help.

I just built a computer and bought an Asus P4P800 Deluxe motherboard (865pe
chipset). It's awesome and I definitely recommend it! However, before you
buy your motherboard you should double check that the Kingston RAM you
purchased will be compatible. With these faster RAM speeds there seem to be
a lot more incompatibility issues.

In the research I did before I bought my computer I did not find anything
that compelled me to get the 875 chipset, so I say just go with the 865pe.
