you sure you want a p4t533-c? IF you're going to be overclocking, don't get it. The fsb only goes up to 150, and with the 2.26, the fsb is already at 133, which only allows for another 289mhz overclock max.

The mobo shouldn't be +5c over your ambient temperature, and the load temp shouldn't be over 50c idle. If you have it within range, you're alll set and good to go. Good luck (not sarcasticly).
 
ahhh, k. If you're not going to overclock, then it's a good board to get. Good bios options, made by a very well known manufacturer, and has the 850E chipset which is a good chipset. I'm sure you wont go wrong with this board. As the temps, look in the previous post which i know you've seen, but i'm just concluding this thread.

Good luck with your future setup.
