    I have the same board and have no problems whatsoever. Features wise they look very similar. You would probably have to dig deep enought on google to find te benefits of one of the other. Is it worth the effort?

    well from what i can tell my board the p4p800 has ide raid and sata raid so thats 4x ide slots and 4x sata slots and the p4c800 is missing these its got 2 of each but ive been told that the chipset are different the 875 is better than the 865????????
