so lets say i was putting together a gaming rig. i'd prolly be better off going with the i865 since i don't need ECC memory. i'm not sure what PAT does though.
PAT theoretically decreases memory access (read times only?) by a few CPU cycles. Real world performance differences between identical motherboards except in regards to the 865/875 chipset shouldn't be noticeably except in extremely specific circumstances. Overclocking by a very small amount (a few Mhz FSB increase) would probably negate the advantage of the 875.

Edit: Did you read Anandtech's 875 overview? It's all in there, specifically here.
