Intel's 865PE and 875p

[rdxvortex]

Can someone please explain the difference between these two and if the p4p800 deluxe would run both of em.

That is a difference of chipset, 875P is more expensive Intel chipset that uses PAT (performance acceleration technology), in general 5-6% better. 865PE has no PAT, don't know of P4P800 as they say that ASUS uses something similar. In either case P4P800 is 865PE chipset.

That, my friend, would be a very expensive processor.

i kno but its worth it. but which one is it....?

The 865Pe and 875P are chipsets, either will run that processor just fine. If that is what your asking.

 

[rdxvortex]

not really... let me rephrase my question.
i am building a new pc. the motherboard that caught my eye is the Asus p4p800 deluxe which runs the 865pe chipset. the description of the cpu i want is from newegg.com and they dont specify the type of chipset that p4 is, so basically id like to know what it is: a 865pe or a 875p and whether that even matters for the p4p800 deluxe.

 

[infinite012]

The chipset doesn't matter as that is part of the motherboard. The motherboard and CPU are totally different. The 3.0C will work on that board.
