[rickyman]

i want to know which one i should buy :

LANPARTY 875P-T (875) or Asus P5p800 (865)

which one is better for overclocking P4 ?

and is Pc4000 ram enough for overclock ?


if not, which memory can overclock is the best for one of those motherboard?

I'm sure the DFI's teh better overclocker... are these all LGA775?

The P5P800 is definitely LGA775. I'd choose the P5P800 (and I did) just for the Utilities on the CD-ROM. There are some things that make OC'g a sweet dream. AI Booster etc.
I've never tried OC'g because it meant playing with various BIOS settings; multipliers; Ram settings etc. But; these utilities do it for you and promptly. Currently my 530J P4 3.0 is running at 5% OC'd 3.15Ghz. and no glitches. The next setting is 7% which I may try soon. So far this system of OC'g is fool proof; maybe even nooB proof. My Ram is GeiL PC3200 Dual Chan 2x512 set to sync'd in Bios.

Heh. 5% is nothing. I can get a 30% oc with software on my P4P800-e Deluxe.

By the way. If you're going for LGA775 why not step up to an i915 board? Much more stable. i955's too expensive. Not too familiar with i925 though.

INTEL boards are known for their UBER stability (THE most stable things on the planet)

If you're interested in overclocking, here's the ASUS.

Although if it were up to me I'd take the intel. 5% overclock isn't going to help that much. Prescotts run hot - you won't be able to overclock much anyways, so why not go for a stability king as opposed to a monster overclocker?

TPG: I may get there someday too; but for now I'll stick with 5%. I tried 7% for a half hour and didn't like the temps I saw. I'll get a better cooler and try again.

I found the P5P800 to be a good OC'r...but the 775 P4 does get HOT...a really good cooler is an absolute must!!!...got my 3.0 to 3.4 easily.
