    intel won't work on amd board totally different like apples & oranges. also that p4 doesn't have legs like before or amd so need new 775 socket board which might not have agp slots but pci/e. so you better decide what you want to do because you might end up in circles

    you can't use a 478 cpu in a 775 board, apples & oranges. your the 1 spending the money so you have to decide which way to go. my supplier has the same asus board for P4P800 E Deluxe Intel 865PE FSB-800 4DDR AGP8X SATA w/Audio/Gigabyte Lan/Raid/Firwire $143. were in canada are you

    both cpu & motherboard on your 11:29am post can go together, i thought you were referring to earlier post for motherboard. i get my stuff at gogo computers in markham, that post for price of board was from there. i'm just south of barrie

    you can email or phone them but i don't think they ship to you. if i need a system, i usually call a couple of days ahead of time so they can get the parts together, assemble & test the computer before i go down & pick it up. the also show me everything working with a demo version of xp before packing system. they also want cash or certified cheque no plastic money
