I just got another P4C800-E Deluxe in from zipzoomfly and started doing a visual comparison to my current P4C which I've had since about December 2003 that I bought at canadacomputers in Mississuaga.
First thing I noticed is that all of the tall capacitors are different, color mainly. Next, between the socket and the back of the board there were only 2 mosfets, the new board has 3 mosfets. At the bottom between the socket and the board's edge, current board has 2 mosfet and the new board has 3. I've counted 14 mosfets on the current board, and this new one has in excess of 17! I noticed I only need 721 ohms, not 35K on my droop mod so I think I've f#@ked it up and was going to redo it on this new board.
Current board has a sticker inbetween the PCI slots labelling it as a rev 2.00. This new board has P4C800-E, rev 2.00 printed right on the pcb. I'll let everyone know how this thing works out over the next couple of days. Maybe some new goodness will emerge during this "downtime" in the computer industry.
