Motherboard manufacturers have developed 865PE/875P chipsets with Socket T because the performance compared to the 925XE, 925X and 915P/G chipsets doesn't differ much and they can use the older components. The difference between AGP and PCI-Express cards is non-existing but the comparison between DDR and DDR2 at the moment goes to the older DDR memories. That's why the older Springdale or Canterwood chipsets might even sound as a better choice than the newer ones.
