asus p4p800e deluxe, HELP!!!

[NiTCOM]

Hi guys!

I just got yesterday the P4P800 deluxe (from Ateck.com) and it looks like it has the Northwood Chipset (northbridge intel 82865PE southbridge intel ich5r w/raid 0 support) instead of the canterwood/springdale !?! The silver heatsink over that controller chip is not turned like in
all the pictures you see on asus website and so on.

So what is the difference between my board and the p4p800 deluxe out there?
Did I get screwed? (on the Ateck.com's website the picture shows clear the turned
silver heatsink).

I thought if I buy a P4P800 deluxe now then it is also the current version !?!

I read in another post that the heatsink is rotated for the retail version of the board. though.
I'm mixed up now!!!


Any help is appreciated!

the board has a revision. I beleive that the newer revision has the hatsink turned square instead of diagonal.

82865PE is not a Northwood chipset. The 865 at the end signifies Springdale.

if it performs fine why complain?

is it getting good memory scores? allow 800Mhz FSB?

Sandra gave me that info but that program is often slightly inaccurate.

I have some PC2100 installed with P4 1.6 - all I can afford for now!
