Need to make choice on a motherboard\ CPU . Help!

I'm currently reviewing different motherboards out there.
I would like to build a P4 system, for gaming mostly. I'm looking at 2.8P4 -3.2P4 HT somewhere around there....... & A bang for my buck!

So far I'm favoring ASUS P4C800-E deluxe... dual frontside bus 800mhz. I've built one in the past and enjoy ASUS features.


My question is what do other people think ,dislike , or like about this motherboard? Or what other would they recommend? Street price $185 retail

Also CPU performance wise how far apart for the money is it worth to pay the price for the preformace. I haven't seen a comparision reports between cpu for % differences in speed.

One more question I haven't found much info on is the AGP voltage differencesX4,X8. I currently have a ATI 9000 128DDR and would like to use it, but I'm not sure what voltage this one would be.

I have done some homework, maybe someone could point me in a same directio or a better direction!


Thanks!
