Intel 865 (Springdale) Chipset: Mainstream Dual DDR

Unreal Tournament 2003/Splinter Cell @ 800MHz/DDR400
In UT2003, the 875P begins to assert a bit of a performance advantage - 3.9% in the flyby test and 7.7% in the botmatch results.
Thanks to Splinter Cell's heavy GPU dependency, the impact of a platform change isn't too great.

I appreciate reviews such as this. But, as a "middle ground" technical background but heavy Excel, and database manipulation user my options break out different than specified here. I am a retail buyer. Box it and sell it to me. The 865's are boxed with "middle systems", the 875's with "higher systems". If I upgrade a "middle", with larger HD and monitor, I am within $30 of the higher system "out of the box". In no way is this a layman's forum, but it would be nice for the "layman", if you included a sentence about "if you are within $100, go ahead with this".
