Asus-P4C800

How stable is the board for o/c?
Is it worth the $180.00 bucks at newegg?
What's the main problems, (If Any), that people are having?

I have an Asus P4B533 and I want to upgrade to somthing a lot better. Good for a stable o/c.

Thinking of spending about a max of $200.00 for a mobo. If any other suggestions on boards please reply with somthing.

P4C800-E IS ROCK SOLID,AND WELL WORTH THE FEW EXTRA BUCKS! I RUN MINE @259mhz, 1:1 ram@ 2.5 as my default. At this speed it still runs @ 34c load and 28c idle.

I would only recommend the P4800C-E, not the board without -E. Why?? You can read a good test about it here: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.html?i=1851

Rock solid and superb!

it's absolutely great, gives excellent temps, voltages and extremely stable! The RAID even lets you choose the strip size for added performance!!

I agree, I had many issues with the Abit IC7 and IC7-G, and this Asus is one excellent board.

I currently have the p4c800 deluxe would it be worth it to upgrade to the e model for the ich5r for my 2 raptors instead of the promise i'm currently using.

I'm waiting for my new P4C800-E to come in. But, I was wondering about the sATA Raid on it. I know it has ICH5R and Promise, but is it possible to hook up 4 sATA drives, and have them all run in a single RAID-0? If so, I'm likely going to buy 4 Raptor sATA drives. If not, I'll just end up keeping my little WD80 drives (Yeah, they're 7200rpm, and only 2mb cache)

*edit* Love the signature you have, Truelies.

Thanks

Thank's for everyone's opinions. It's helped me think through options I had.

Sorry about not replying that soon. I didn't have a monitor for a while. I just bought a $99.00 17" mag at best buy. A killer price. It absolutley rules for the price.
