I am putting together a new system and am going to use a board with an 875P chipset. Should I go with the Abit IC7-MAX3 or the Gigabyte GA-8KNXP REV 2.0, or is there a better choice out there?

I'd go with the Abit IS7.

As to 875P boards, the MAX3 is the best.
But I'd consider buying an ASUS maybe, either the P4C800, or if you want an old but trustworthy one - the P4P800 (865P).

IS7 gives better performance and more features for less money than the P4P800.

Is the 875P really worth it? I'm planing on building a new system soon and was wandering about it (getting a 875P or a 865PE board) And what about the P4S800D-E Deluxe with the SiS655TX chipset?
