I've looked at the Intel GBFL, Abit IS7-M, A-open AX4SG-N, Gigabite 81G1000 Pro, MSI Neo2-LS,Asus P4P800-VM, and FIC VL3SG boards. Which should I buy based upon quality, stability, and longevity i.e. 5 years? The FIC is least expensive. Gigabyte the most expensive.

There's also Intel PERL-K. costs only $140 and has firewire, SATA RAID, and CSA gigabit ethernet. However it only lets you overclock the system by 4%, so my 2.6C P4 runs at 2.7GHz.
 
The 865G is the chipset with integrated graphics. I am looking at those boards for my upgrade. I know that there are compromises with using the video on an integrated board, but the prices are about the same as the 865P boards. So anyone have any recommendations?
 
I am using the Intel D865GLCLC right now. Great board. Has an AGP 8x slot also, so you don't have to use the onboard video...
 
What steered you toward Intel as opposed to another manufacturer like MSI or Gigabyte? I wonder if the Intel boards are actually made by Intel.
 
Are you guys saying that the 865G chipset is identical to the 865P except for the on board video? If this is so then why wouldn't everyone buy the IGP mobo if the prices are close or the same as they seem to be?
