Overall performance was on par with other Pentium 4 solutions although I did expect to see somewhat better scores. I believe the full potential of the P4PE goes unrealized at this time because features like Serial ATA are not able to be fully utilized along with Hyper-Threading performance going untested at this time until HT enabled processors come out of Intel. Still, DDR333 was needed on the Intel chipset platform and we did not think they were going to work miracles with it...as we are sure they are waiting for dual channel DDR to do that.
The board was extremely solid, performed extremely well and I have no problems with recommending it for you if it suits your needs. Interestingly enough, Kyle was testing another Asus P4PE while I was working on mine. You can see more P4PE benchmarks at 2.8GHz over in his 2800+ article. I think he snuck those in there before the i845PE launch hoping no one would notice.
