My P4P800 Deluxe would lose 2GB of memory bandwidth noticed by Aida32, Sisoft Sandra, and ramspeed when I had my flash drive connected. Should I trust that the P4C800-E doesn't do this or should i go with the IC7-G for stock speeds (Same price)? So far here are the pros and cons:

IC7-G Pros
Good Performance
Rounded IDE
Could potentially fix my flash drive issue
Good overclockability
Officially supports 4 sticks of corsair

IC7-G Cons
Sound Issue
New revision going to be released soon to fix these problems
NB Fan

P4C800-E Pros
Rated very high for stock speeds.
Passive NB Cooling

P4C800-E Cons
Doesn't officially support 4 sticks of corsair ram (i already bought the corsair sticks)
Could have an issue with my flash drive.

It might be a Windows issue instead, who knows. When I close down Trillian (my ICQ/MSN/AIM client) I gain 200MB/s memory bandwidth . . . even though Trillian only takes like 0.1% of my CPU time. Do I understand it? No. Do I know whom to blame? Nope. I have the P4P800 Deluxe.
