ASUS P4P800 Deluxe:

For all of you looking at a Springdale based board for your next system upgrade or project, thisASUS P4P800 review is right up your alley. See what Doc Overclock and the Motherboards.Org crew had to say:

It seems than once again the D865PE chipset shows more promise in the 3D gaming arena than the D875P and at a much lower cost as well. Intel has dropped the price on the D875 but the D865 still is the price leader and is becoming the number one choice as the chipset of choice by most gamers and enthusiasts.

Letters To Dan:

Recently voted the “most likely to become Dear Abbey” of the hardware world, Dan’s Data spends the day answering reader mail…some of this stuff is priceless.

This time, hapless organisms seek my guidance concerning magnetic monitor interference, do-it-yourself wireless headphones, LEDs that people may shoot at and will shoot near, PS2 video cables, a fried computer that isn't, digital art photography, in-office videoconferencing, and making a self-propelled PC.

1GB Corsair XMS4000:

With all these motherboards needing dual channel memory nowadays, these 1GB Corsair TwinX XMS4000 memory kits seem like a pretty good idea. The peace of mind you get from good memory is well worth the investment.

Corsair has answered the call of enthusiasts and released a product that eliminates the worry of having too little memory bandwidth! As we have shown by our benchmarks we saw very little real world gain at higher front side bus speeds when we kept the CPU clock at a constant 3.0GHz. We have reached a point in time where memory bandwidth is no longer a major factor for the Intel Pentium 4.
