Whats the difference in all the P4P800 boards?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

There is a P4P800 Deluxe, P4P800, and a P4P800-VM.

What is the difference in all three? Also, is the audio same in all of them? One more thing, will Hyper Path, or PAT, work in all three?

P4P800-VM comes with integrated video + 10/100 LAN and the ICH5 (no 1394a, no RAID)
P4P800 comes with the ICH5R and Gigabit LAN (no 1394)
P4P800-DX comes with ICH5R, 1394, and Gigabit LAN (not through the CSA though)

there is about a $20 difference in price between the 800 & 800deluxe....and this is all b/c of 1394 ports????

Nope. And the Deluxe word cost printing on the box and manuals. That ink adds up 😉

Seriously, it seems like it. I think I'm just goig to go for it because I like to use as little PCI slots as possible for no reason and its within my price budget I set for the computer...

Does the non-deluxe P4P800 Gigabit LAN use the CSA bus?

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

None of the P4P800 boards use the CSA bus.

I think the deluxe also adds the extra Via/Highpoint raid controller. At least my deluxe board has that, I think the non-deluxe skips it.
