I know you asked about the Canterwood versions but this recent shootout looks at Asus & Abit's respective Springdale implementations:

IMO, the Abit IC7-G Max2 Advanced is an overall better board

 

[Jincuteguy]

so which one has more features?and overclock abilities?

 

[Wurrmm]

Both are top notch, but the Abit is better for OCing and IMO more stable.

 

[Jincuteguy]

so the IC7-G is overcloking and more stable than the Asus one right?

That's a matter of opinion, both are good boards, I happen to feel the ASUS is more likely to be more stable. Overclocking options are excellent on both boards, do some research. ASUS has a history of reliability and stability right next to Intel. Now, they have a lot of overclocking options as well.

 

[Fallengod]

Asus is probably more stable, ive heard abits having far more problems than asus have lately also so...

Really depends on if/how much you plan to overclock your P4. If more than 250+fsb, then I would suggest the Abit over the Asus.

The main thing to consider is when ocing a cpu is:

Asus = 3 phase power/overvolting+more vcore swings from idle to full load on the cpu (usually about 0.06).
Abit = 4 phase power/undervolting+less vcore swings from idle to full load on the cpu (usually about 0.03).
