Asus P4P8X Review @ TechJuice

You have to be a little careful when buying a Springdale enabled motherboard since there is more than one style of i865 chipset on the market, the i865PE and i865P. The PE version supports the new 800Mhz FSB whereas the cheaper i865P only supports the 533Mhz FSB. The chipset can still reach 800Mhz on some motherboards by overclocking but it remains unclear if you get the DDR400 memory controller or not. (DDR400 is only enabled with 800Mhz FSB processors on the Springdale and Canterwood chipsets)
"So if this board will do 800MHz, how about 1000MHz. We hooked up the alcholcooler to see what we could get out the Asus P4P8X. Why alcohol? Because we have been trying a new types of fluids for maxium heat transfer, and it was the closest liquid to the bench. We are professionals. Don't try this at home."
