well, i would say the 845PE is good if you want a high performance low cost chipset, but if you want a "cash is no object, give be the latest greatest" type chipset the 875P would be your best bet, for 845PE chipset boards, Asus P4PE is good, but dont stray to SiS, although the spec may seem tempting like the prices, dont buy it, just stick with intel...im not sure about 875P chipsets though. the P4PE is good, i have a P4 2.66 and i have OC'ed it to 3.398
