hoch motherboard?

Hi guys,
Have one question. I don't know much about motherboards. I have 2 of them and I'd like to know which one is newer to keep. Here they are:

Intel D945GNT
Asus P4P800-E (Rev 1.02)

Thanks for your help.

The best I can figure

is the ASUS board is socket 478 and the Intel is LGA775. LGA775 is the newer design for the P4 processors and I still see a few such processors available. This doesn't mean I'm recommending it over the ASUS. Both are beyond the days of manufacturer support and there won't be a way to determine which will outlast the other. But, the Intel is probably newer. Hope that helps.
