P4 motherboards...

Ok, is it true that P4's or Celerons of 478 run better on certain motherboards? Or am I bluffing? I've noticed a performance decrease when I switched from Abit SG-72 to a PC CHIPS mobo. Same hard drive and same memory, video card, etc.

It's not a faulty mobo, everything works fine. HT doesn't apply to this, because it's not present for on my CPU. So what's the deal?
 
Well, AMD fixes this problem by including a memmory controller in the chip itself.... but on the intel side you *need* a good motherboard (at least one that has a good memory controller)

TPG basically nailed it on the head here. If the northbridge has a crappy memory controller, or the chipset itself is not good, you'll take a decrease in performance. I'm assuming since you have a PC Chips board, you have either a VIA or SiS chipset which do not perform as well as Intel chipsets.
