[Quackmaster]

Thought it might be useful to have a thread with linkage to lots of 865/875 stuffs considering it took me over 2 days to come across much of what follows. Please post more links if they're not listed here already. This thread is intended for links to reviews, resources, and other 865/875 related topic. Dialogue is welcome, but please limit the chatter/comments.Bumpage is welcome however..

FYI newegg is all out of P4P800s in both the deluxe and standard versions.

Mwave.com has them both in stock, however. Cheaper too!

I have also found .this link here bringing up the fact that there might be two versions of the p4p800 deluxe.

I tend to notice that for the moment the asusboards forums (now abxzone forums) seem to be have more 865/875 info than the other hardware sites. Mostly 'cuz Prometheus and crew have gotten their hands on a lot of mobos firsthand.

I should also note I did NOT include any MSI links due to their being the most unstable boards right now(as a whole product line, not individually). I'm sure many individual peeps have good boards). But before any users of those boards flame me, "yes", I know Anands crew gave it a great review, but LOTS of other places aren't having nearly such a pleasant experience. The HardOCP didn't like it and I've seen much more chaos going on involving, well.....FIRE?!?! Dig around in the abx forums and you'll see what I mean. overclockers.com, hardocp and abxzone forum users have all essentially run from these boards till MSI gets their "lemons" sold off or worked out. I've always really liked MSI stuff, but not right now.
