P4 EE With Abit A17

Hello this is a question I would like Crashman or anyone else knowlegable to answer

Hi I am about to build a PC
-I like the A17 because it has all the features I need as well as Uguru that I really like
-I like the Pentium 4 EE because it is the fastest out there and I have the money to pay for it

My questions are:
1)Will that configuration work?
2)Is the performance increase between P4 3.2 EE vs P4 3.2 ALOT MORE than the increase between i875 vs i865?

MY sole question is whether there is much difference in choosing an i865 or i875 mobo for the p4ee.

Please dont reply if you are going to tell me that im wasting my money buying the ee. I didnt write the post for that reason and ive heard enough of it already

Thanks people
