P4 2.26 533 or xp 2100

Undecided as to which system I should go for. I wll not be OC'ing. This system will be primarily gaming and digital imaging. Also, which chipset would be best suited for P4? 845E or 845G?

I went with the 2.26B and the Abit BG7 (845G). If everything gets here by tomorrow I'll be able to give some early details on overclocking. As for the E or G, I decided on the G because of the 4:5 memory divider. At 133Mhz FSB you can run the ram at 333, at 150Mhz run the ram at 376. and at 160 you get DDR 400! If you want to try a real high FSB like 180+ then your stuck with the 1:1 ratio and the E would be just fine. Both the E and G can have the 3:4 divider but you better make sure if you want that feature the motherboard you select has it.
