sorry, hit enter. I'm a n00b with building my own pc and i was wondering which company makes the best mobo for intel p4 800Mhz fsb and 533Mhz fsb processors. I don't know if it matters, but I'm looking at the 9800 pro as a video card. If amd is better for the Radeon cards, let me know. Thanks.

Read some reviews...here, HardOCP, Tomshardare, and you'll easily answer your own question about the difference in performance between AMD and Intel CPUs. I wouldn't rely on forum advice. People tend to suffer from "whatever I own is the best" syndrom, due to insecurities and what not.
As for mobo, pick one that has the features you want. Then find some reviews, and note the type of RAM they are successful with. The above sites continually put out "motherboard roundups" based on chipsets and such.

Well said. although there are many posters that i do value their advice, but the AMD vs Intel battle sometimes clouds objectivity, they are both fine chips and AMD is usually less in price. I personally use Intel on my own box and AMD on several others.
