I am going to be building me a new system and I have the P5P800 in mind and I was wondering about processors I have the P4 640 in mind for the CPU would this work with the board ? this will mostly be used for video editing and image editing and some games but not much

it will also be paired with 1 gig of ram 200 gig hard drive and maybe a X800xt card
 
ok update I will be getting my stuff on wed. I went with the above pieces I mentioned.. now I have read that I might need to update my BIOs , I read on Asus website that the board supports everything this chip has to offer but the 2MB cache memory. can someone let me know if this is true that I should update or if it will be ok, this PC is going to be for my home office and maybe a few games here and there
 
i dont doubt that it will work fine. but surely you should have gotten a motherboard that fully supported your cpu... why would you get a motherboard that states clearly it has some incompatibility?


i know you just said you got the parts already but... i think we really dropped the ball here in not advising you sooner on what parts you should be getting...
