Many reviews out there will tell you this already, but basically as the Memory controller is on the CPU, neither board is that different. The differences of note are:

nForce3:
Locked AGP speed, higher FSB is possible
Limited feature set (Raid etc)
Slower HT bus, but overclocks better

K8T800:
Faster HT bus at stock speed
No locking of PCI and AGP buses
Usually doesnt overclock as well
Boards tend to be packed with extra features (6.1 sound, GBit + 10/100 LAN)
