The P5P800 has a 24 pin power connector. So I recommend you get a new PSU.

The Antec Neopower.

Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. That obviously makes the 775 upgrade a bit more pricey, but it sounds like it will be worthwhile, because the CPU and PSU could be kept when I buy a PCI-E MB/vidcard.

Heres my MOBO

P4R800-V DELUXE bought it about 6 months ago when it was at $110, but you can get it for about 80 now

Just bought a P42.8E because I to was on a strict budget. Ive had the cpu for all but a week. Upgraded from a 2.7 cele. N northwoods availible in my area, so last choice w/out goin broke was a Prescott. Acually rusns pretty cool, but then again its only a 2.8, but even at 3.10 its about the same temps(42c-49c) and in gaming tis at about 53c. Just offering my 2 cents...

My system:

CPU: Intel P4 2.8GHz Prescott (LGA775 w/ stock cooler)

RAM: 512MB (2x256) Corsair TwinX PC3200C2PT DDR (6-3-3-2)

MOBO: DFI LanParty UT 915P-T12 w/ latest official bios (Intel 915P chipset)

HD: 160GB Samsung SP1614C SATA Hard Drive

VID: EVGA GeForce 6600 256MB PCIe

PSU: Fortron FSP530-60GNA 530 watt

AUDIO: Onboard - Azalia (sounds great!)

OS: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

Those are the specs on the new LGA775 system I built. I LOVE it so far. The motherboard requires a 24-pin atx connector AND the 4-pin aux connector so be advised! I am actually using a 20-pin atx connector and 4-pin aux power supply. I have left the 4 remaining atx pins on the motherboard empty. Although this is risky it has been running fine so far. Just to be on the safe side I plan on getting a new power supply soon. I got my eye on this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-104-935&depa=0 . I love fortron's power supplies :yes:

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I just wanted to give an update on my decision. I am selling my old parts and plan to get:

ASUS P5P800

Intel P4 3.4GHz (LGA 775)

1GB Corsair XMS Extreme Series (PC3200)

Antec NeoPower 480W

Any suggestions?

For anyone new, this will be an upgrade of the XP Box in my sig.

Looks good. You be patient if you can and wait for an E0 3.4GHz. (Y)

      I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.

      They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
