P4 Mobo - Is my choice a good one?

[Doh_boy]

I'm going to upgrade my system soon and I'm currently mulling over the choice of mobo.

I'm going for p4 (800fsb) so it's all nice and expensive

My two choices at the moment are:

MSI 865PE-NEO2-FIS2R i865 P4 DDR (preferred, cheaper ergo dear proc)
Asus P4C-800 Deluxe (dearer and looks packed with goodies).

What do people think? Alternatives welcome.

From what I have read (planning on a new PC meself soon), if you is getting Intel then you want the 875 chipset not the 865, which would mean the Asus is the better card.
Couldn't personally vouch for what difference you get for the money though :/

I have that mobo (MSI) with my 2.8. More stuff on it than ill ever use and totally stable tho the Live Update stuff is a bit chuggy. Fantastic partner to my 2.8c

Aye THG says it tops. Any other sites you look to for hardware reviews (technation don't do a review of either board nevermind a comparison).
