motherboard for gaming question

first off i know this a widely asked question about motherboards,and you
can only spend so much time googling a subject before getting frustrated and
bored.so iam sorry in advance for asking a question that has been asked over
and over.
like i said iam building a computer strictly for games.i plan on using a
p4 3.2 or 3.4,1 gig or more of ram.there will be some networking involved
because this comp will not touch the internet.it will be connected to
another comp that will do all the upgrading.then files transfered over.
the motherboards iam trying to decide between are the abit IC7-max3 and
the asus p4c800-edeluxe.i have been doing online research for about a month
and i cannot decide.am i overlooking a board that may be better.like i said
this is strictly for games.i do not know how to overclock, so that will not
affect my decision.thanks in advance.
