I just bought a pentium D 805 to use till I get a D 930 and ASUS P5WD2-E premium.
I was thinking about getting a cheap ASUS P5P800 SE (865PE) to use with the 805 because I still want to use my AGP graphics, and my DDR400.
ASUS says the board supports the dual core.
Will the P5P800 SE perform ok with the D 805?
Has anyone used the P5P800 SE with dual core, and can tell me how well a combo like this works?
I see no reason why it wouldn't work. There was a bios update for P5P800SE to allow single core 65nm to function on the mb. I'm not 100% sure but I would think that it would work just fine.
I have a P5800SE currently it is running a 650, but this mainboard was built to support DUAL core + AGP that is why i have bought this mainboard. To me it should support it
I saw on polish forum P5P800SE + D805 running without problems :D Im also thinking about switching my poor 2.4 gig Winnie to 805 with this board.
Well I got the P5P800 SE today, and put my D805 on it.
So far so good.
It overclocks to 3.5ghz on stock voltage.
Went as high as 3.75ghz with a slight increase in volts.
Can`t boot @3.8 for some reason,............. not too bad IMO.

Still not bad results for a dual core cpu that only costs $140 us, and a mobo that cost $82 us.
Cheap but still does the job. :)
The 805 is by far the best bang for your buck cpu out period. With the low FSB, I bet on any 945 board you see 4.0GHZ:) I almost want to buy one to test and have some fun. Try something different from my Opteron 165 and amd chips in general. Been with AMD snice the sub 1GHZ Tbird days.
Just put together my P5P800SE/805D last night... together with K8N Neo2 Platinum/X2 3800+.. ("shootout"). :)
So far I've got the Intel rig use/bench-stable at 185x20=3.7Ghz@1.45VCore (Bios). VCore fluctuates quite a lot.. and the board undervolts.. 1.35-1.42 during idle.. that drops under full load (sometimes below 1.3).
EDIT:
After installing watercooling max. clock is no more than 3.3Ghz.. :-( . This may be caused by overheating mosfets (no cooling/heatsinks provided by Asus).
My X2 runs at 2.6Ghz but not stable (problem with 3D/chrashes in 3Dmark/PCMark). Curiosly it runs dual prime rockstable..
It performs better @ 2.6 than 805D @ 3.7 but not by much though..
EDIT: After reinstalling ATI drivers.. everything works perfect... max. stable clock is 2.64Ghz
"PP-wise" (Performance-Price) the P5P800SE/805D can't be beat as an entry to a dual rig.. if you've got a good AGP-card and some good DDR1-sticks..
EDIT:
My preliminary conclusion is that this board (P5P800 SE) is not a good choise for serious overclocking.. but the price is such that it can be accepted.. :)
Technically that isn`t undervolting.
Intel specs for D805 IS 1.2V min ~ 1.4v max

But I know what you mean by the board dropping underload.
Mine stays around 1.35v @ stock (voltage set on Auto)...and drops to 1.28v underload.
Edit: I just realized your talking about undervolting from what you set it in BIOS.
Mine does that too. To get a steady voltage of 1.4v you have to jack it up to 1.45v~ 1.5v in bios.
