I currently have a ASUS P4P800-S (i848pe, single channel memory), i want a i865pe based motherboard and i have the following options:

Albatron PX865PE PRO
Gigabyte 81PE1000-G

I want a board thats stable with overclocking options (CPU/RAM/AGP voltage + lockable PCI/AGP freq. + fsb overclockable), iv read reviews on the Albatron board and it has the options but there are no reviews out there for the gigabyte board - does anyone know if its got the proper overclocking options? which would be a better board? My mate has a Gigabyte GA-8IG1000MK and it has all the options (using the "secret key" ), would this gigabyte board have the same features?

Another question - does the onboard video effect the performance if a card is used? or no diffrence?

My Current System:

Intel P4 2.6c
1x512mb Kingmax TBGA DDR400
ASUS P4P800-S (i848pe)
Leadtek FX5600 128mb
Audigy 1
Onboard Realtek 100mbps LAN
Leadtek TV2000 XP Deluxe
56k Modem
Seagate 80gb SATA
Pioneer 16x DVDRom
Creative 8x4x32 CDRW
LS120 Drive

An AGP video card would completely disable onboard AGP and therefor the onboard video would have no performance impact.

If you want to spend around 100+ bux and get a couple FPS for them than yeah, get someting with dual channel, otherwize I would not touch the thing, it is almost as fast. If you play, get yourself a good A64/mobo setup, than would increase performance more than new mobo for the old chip.

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...
