I really liked the i850 chipset but, lets face it RAMBUS is on it's way out. I had a Gigabyte 8INXP and was very dissapointed. I just picked up a Gigabyte SQ800 which uses the new SIS655 and it is totally stable and very fast.

This is a tough question - P4G8X will probably give you slightly better performance but, P4T533 will have better stability. Wither board will be a good choice. My advise would be to get P4G8X just because you won't be stuck having to buy expensive RC1066 RDRAM.

thanks... i guess the new GRANITE BAY chipsets are way to go with the current trend today... i guess rambus is really going out now....
