If not overclocking, intel. If overclocking or tweaking not intel.

Thats what I would do. The Intel board will probably perform better to since its DDR, so you get twice as much bandwidth. I would pick the Intel, for stability number one and number two, you get more bandwidth.

Bteween the two, Intel. Though at 266, it won't be as good as it could be (not sure if the Intel mobos allows DDR 333 and 400), but using PC133 with a P4 would be a complete waste.
