which one is better the P4C800 Deluxe you can find everything about it here
or the P4P800 Deluxe you can find everything about it here?

Both seem like good motherboards. You're gonna get a performance increase with the 875 board due to the Intel PAT. I believe the increase is in the 3-5% range. The 875 board also uses a Promise RAID chip while the 865 board uses a VIA RAID chip. I personally have never used a RAID set up, but I would imagine the Promise controller is better. The only other thing I remember seeing is the 875 board will allow you to use a ATA133 hard drive while with the 865 board you can only use an ATA100 hard drive.

I have no idea what the difference in price between the two motherboard. You'll just have to determine which motherboard will fit your needs the best go from there.

I really don't think you'll go wrong with either of those motherboard though.

not sure if they updated the P4P like they did the P4C, but the P4C800-E now comes with an Intel 10/100/1000 etherenet controller instead of the 3Com ones. Several reviewers complained about the P4C800-D because it came with the 3Com controller instead which supposedly introduced a small CPU overhead for LAN functions.

I have the P4C800-E, it's a fantastic board for what that's worth
