Your Computer Specs

[Rbstr]

You can't have a dual P4/Celleron (cel is the same chip just with less cashe and 400mz FSB) You can do a dual or Quad 3.2ghz Xeon though. The arcitecture(sp) of a dual and a single are different, thats why you have to use a Athlon MP for a dual athalon (or mod the regular chip). And you have to buy a Xeon DP/MP for the dual/quad usage.

Dual P4, lol yea sure. I think when Intel screwd ppl by making them buy crap xeons for dual is when I decided to drop them like a bad habit.

It was workstationboard i think, it was dual Xeon and or Celron. I never said it was a desktop though! 8\ (window got shut down and this is waht i could remember of what i typed the first time. )

Asus board sPwn all, they have the best 875 on the market and the best 865pe (they also have the new ATI chipset boards with integrated graphics that preform better than FX5200's), and xeons aren't crap, there better thant P4's alot of time THe p4EE is a xeon repinned, and it beats the 64 FX-51 in more than half the benches.

You can have a dual P3/P3Celleron but not the p4 based chips

So would you say my ASUS P4P 800 was a good investment? I didn't go for the deluxe version of it though . I hope im not missing out on much.

Yeah it's a good board the only difference is it's missing the Via raid controler (i think)
