p4p800 SE vs IS7

I've done my research and still I cant decide between these two boards. I know that socket 478 is a bit outdated, but anyone who has an opinion please share it because I've been deadlocked between these two for a while.

Ive got a 3.0ghz p4 and 2gb ram that im looking to OC to keep up with the newer tech, so yes, Im looking to OC my stuff. I hear that IS7 is a great OC board (stability issues?) but Asus seems to boast stability (and a passive NB cooler:)).

ANY help is appreciated!

The problem is almost nobody carries IS7 anymore. P4P-800SE is a lot easier to find although it is much more expensive compared to IS7. I would go for P4P800SE instead. If not, I would probably seek P4S800D-X like I'm using right now. I have Pressy 3.2 running 3.8plus stable without any voltage increase (because there are none!).

Thanks, its been quite a while since i posted this, and i did in fact go with the p4p800se. Its a good stable board and I'd recommend it to anyone - I have a 3.0 northwood running at 3.6 without a problem. Asus has always lived up to my expectations
