RealTek (SIGH!!) ethernet controller. WHY use a RealTek ethernet chip, WHY? Better performance can be acheived using a potato chip For that reason alone, I would recommend steering clear, if possible of the /TE variant.
Hahahahahahaha
Iv'e myself have had some problems with some "Realtek Suff"
Thanx for the warning Royston.

In what way?

CRC errors
in hardware! Poor duplex negotiation with switches too
Literally "cheap as chips".

I think I saw it mentioned in the MOBO's manual. It's at home, so I'll need to check it.

PC3200 ram seems to require higher than the standard 2.5 voltage to run properly at 400MHz. Asus and Gigabyte boards allow BIOS adjustments of the DDR operating voltage, Intel does not. I've heard that PC3500 DDR Ram is recommended for Intel 800MHz boards.
I have an ASUS P4C800e board running 1GB PC3200 (Kingston HyperX) ram - had to boost the voltage to 2.75v and everything runs beautifully.

In addition to dbmac's information, ASUS have this to say:
"Obtain PC3200 DDR DIMMs only from ASUS qualified vendors list"
...which is what I was thinking of.

I just setup a new system based on Intel 875 mobo and it has been super smooth, easy, solid, and no snaps crackles or pops... I went for the stripped down board without onboard firewire or sound. It does have onboard LAN, USB 2.0, and integrated SATA.
cheers,

My advice...
ASUS P4C800 GOLD or ABIT IC7 (both with I875) are the best MB on the market right now...

I can report that Pulsar works on a dual Xeon 2.8GHz, Supermicro mobo.
Not for fainthearted...

if you want to benefit from hyperthreading, buy an asus p 4 p 800 (NO DELuXE!)
no other board worked well with hyperthreading in our tests...

Not even after setting SFP's affinity to one CPU?
I tried both settings (running on one or two CPUs) with no visible differences.
