i have the opportunity to trade my (on its way, paid 45 bucks for it as well) DFI LanParty 875 B (s478) for Asus P4C800-E Dlx and a Abit IC7-Max3 both apparently with no problems, and this is a straight up trade! no money outa my pocket, 2 of his boards for 1 of mine... should i do it?

also i wanna know which board is the easiest (not extremely hard to oc it, and too get it too high lvl's of oc) compaired to my old board (now sold to pay for the DFI) P4P800SE

Go for it!! Both of those boards will allow higher vcore which pressys need to achieve high overclocks. The DFI board will not go higher than 1.52 on the vcore before some sort of OVP kicks in. Check out DFI street and you will see what i mean. ASUS is still releasing Bios upgrades for the deluxe. see the asus thread here. On both boards - sink all mosfets!!!!!

im not so much good with modding electrical stuff as i am making a case , so i wouldnt be sinking any mosfets....unless there is someone in my area that could do that for me and gaurentee that it would work, other than that, it would be un-modded

sinking mosfets is not electrical it really just placeing heatsinks on your board. it will make your overclock more stable with prescotts.
