Comparison of Intel motherboards

I am considering one of the following D875PBZ, D865GRH, D865PERL, D865GBF,
D865GLC for my 2nd PC. The first one has D875PBZ, so I am very familiar
with that.

Any opinion on the others? On-board firewire will be nice, and I'll
probably get an ATI Radeon graphics card (to be able to stream video from my
current PC with 9800 All-in Wonder to this new PC).

What is "Prescott ready" and "Extreme Edition CPU"?

If you're going to be using your own graphics card, you don't need any of the
D865G* motherboards. The D865PERL is very capable, Prescott-ready
(handles the newer 90nm P4's), has onboard firewire, and is a little less
expensive than the D875PBZ.

Can D875PBZ handle these CPU's? It is the top Intel desktop board ...

Some can and some can not; it depends on the board revision.
See:

for details.

Yes be careful some companies don't give the board revisions, and this
can be confusing. Buyer beware.

Good luck
