i've got a p4p800 deluxe, got it late summer, i thought i would be able to build a good system in the fall. well, i dont have very much money so thats holding me back. but i wondered, ocing wise, would a p4c800 or the p4p800 do better, or doesnt it matter? i read that the only difference is in the chipset, in that the p4c800 always you to enable PAT, but asus, being a slick and sly mobo company, found a back door and enabled it on the p4p800 making the p4c800 useless. i also heard that PAT doesnt matter when ocing because it only works with 800 fsb. so would it be wise to sell off my (unused, still in the anti static plastic bag) p4p800 and pick up a p4c800? will the p4p800 hold me back in my processors overclock? (i plan on having a 2.8CGHz w/ M0 stepping when i can find one and corsair pc4000 ram - hoping to get a good overclock with 1:1 ratio)
