The ASUS P4P 800-E Deluxe is a fully featured Pentiom-4 motherboard, capable of running RAID 1 & 0 simultaneously. I have run as many as fivex hard drives, one internal Zip-Drive and two DVD burners off one, at one time. It is set up for a 3.2Ghz factory setting, but there is a BIOS download on the ASUS site under CPU support that will update it of using either a 3.4Ghz Extreme Edition or the same speed Prescott CPU. RAM capability is 3.GB. I would recommend a Sapphire HD 3850 as your video card that can be combined with an HD 2400 or 2600 512.GB PCI 2.0 card for running a third monitor or display.
