I am getting a new ASUS Motherboard - the P4P800 Deluxe model... what do people think about this motherboard?

Awesome. You'll love it. Personally, I love ASUS and wish I had gotton one for my personal rig instead of an ABit. Used that bored before, simply fantastic.

I love mine. Most stable system I have ever owned. I don't use the onboard sound though, I have an Audigy for that. I use the onboard NIC, the SATA (RAID 0), and I used to use the VIA VT6410 ATA RAID controller (as JBOD, not RAID 0) before I got my SATA drives. If you won't use the IDE RAID controller, get the non-Deluxe version. I am building another P4 based rig for someone, and I think I am going to build it on a P4P800.

This is the ideal P4 board. This is what is in my rig and I think it is awesome.

Here's a review and here's another.

I only run Asus boards, Stable as a rock IMHO.

I can only speak for Athlon boards, but I think in general, most people that buy a lot of motherboards know that ASUS is top notch, support as well.

 

[GeneralGrievous]

Asus is too expensive IMO.
