P4P800-E Deluxe a good choice for workstation?

[Dave Smith]

I'm building a computer to be an office workstation. Not much
graphics work, mostly just office apps so I don't need a lot of
processing power. I've been out of the motherboard loop for a while,
but want to use an Asus board as I've always had great luck with them.
Is the P4P800-E Deluxe a good choice for this machine? I probably
won't use the WiFi.

Thanks very much.

I'm running a P4/3.2 Hyper Threaded, AGP Video, 2x250GB drives, CD-RW
and a DVD+/-RW drive, 1GB RAM, Windows XP SP2 Prof and no problems.

Ha, the same configuration here with X800XT and Tagan psu.... )
No problems at all since April 2005, a good board,
replaced a P4B533-E DL here, which also was a good but slower one.

Well, yes and no. First, I'd rather do it myself. Second, I don't
want to have to deal with all of Dell's proprietary crap. I think I
can get this one built for around $600 if I buy all new parts, cheaper
if I dig into my spare parts drawer.

well if that is the case a p4p800se is the same board just a little cheaper
