Going to be building a system using ASUS P4P800 - Any issues I should know of?

[brigden]

Here's what I'm expecting:

WESTERN DIGITAL WD800JB 80.0GB 7200RPM 8MB CACHE ATA/100
LOGITECH MX500 OPTICAL MOUSE
VIEWSONIC E70F+SB 17IN CRT
LOGITECH ELITE KEYBOARD
OCZ PC3200 512MB EL DDR 400MHZ CL2 COPPER HEATSPREADER
ANTEC SONATA QUIET MID TOWER W/380W POWER SUPPLY - BLACK
SAPPHIRE ATLANTIS RADEON 9800 PRO 128MB DDR RETAIL LITE
ASUS P4P800 SOCKET-478 INTEL 865PE 5PCI/AGP8X 4DUAL DDR400 AUDIO SATA GBLAN RAID USB2.0 HYPER-THREADING
INTEL PENTIUM 4 2.6C GHZ 800 MHZ FSB 512KB CACHE 478-PIN
LITEON LTR-52327S 52X32X52 CD-RW RETAIL

Any known issues to expect with that hardware?

I would like to know also since I will be using the same motherboard and processor. Anyone with overclocking experience on this board? I am hoping to get to 250FSB on the processor so I can run it and my Dual-Channel PC4000 HyperX at 1:1.

Bump!

Do yourselfs a big favour and get the P4C800-E board instead as it has a few fundimental updates that is a big improvment on its flawed predesesor.If you check with google it will show them in detail.

What's wrong with it? In Anands benchmarks with the i848 it hit 265Mhz FSB which is higher then I wanted. And the one I would be getting is the i865 version. And besides, the P4C800-E may be good for overclockers but it's way to expensive.

Would the Epox EP-4PCA3+ be a better choice? Understand I am a bit cash strapped and can't afford anything overly excessive.

The two issues I have with the p4p800, is I do not think the temperature probes are accurate and vcore voltage seems to fluctuate some. Still has oc to 250fsb at 2-2-2-5 timings without a problem, have not tried higher. Also onboard sound is pretty dull.
