The 533Mhz processor is slower. Thanks to HT, the 800 Mhz FSB, the dual-channel memory, the newer P4 2.6c with HT is about as fast as the older P4 2.8b. And no, that 6 and 8 is not a typo.
(c=800 mhz, HT, b=533 mhz, non-HT, by the way)
Therefore... it depends on the price difference of a good mobo (with the intel 865 chipset), and the 2.6c; or an older mobo (with 845 chipset) and the 2.8b.
