cubx is $96 & cusl2 is $135 on pricewatch I have a 633 celeron to put in it now but I`m wondering down the road if a P4 won`t work in either one why spend the extra money on the 815 chipset board? All I`ve heard about the P4 is now it will work with rambus and sdram, but will it work with the 815 chipset? Any upgrade advise for a P2b user?
 
No. The P4 should not work with current chipsets.

As for making the choice between the CUSL2 and the CUBX, I think the main thing that you should consider is the divider (if you are OCing). The CUSL2 can get a higher FSB while keeping the PCI and AGP more in spec since it supports a 100FSB standard.
 
CUBX boards have never been very celeronII-friendly. I just threw my CUBX into my folks' box w/a 533A@800, thank goodness it does 800 at 1.6 volts as there lies the problem, on a CUBX you can't give a celly any more than that w/o the board becoming comatose upon rebooting and it doesn't look like ASUS ever figured out a fix for this problem.

The CUSL2 will give better RAM performance... with a celly it runs the memory bus async, 66 cpu/100 mem/33 PCI, and it won't choke on the chip.
