Intel D875PBZ Motherboard...i875 Chipset

Hello Again,

As you can tell from the subject header, my question relates to Intel Legacy
boards. My Intel D865PERL board finally died, (several bulging/leaking
capacitors), on me after a long and useful service life. The hardware and
peripherals used on it are still solid.

In wanting to maintain as similar a system to the 865PERL as possible, I've
run across the D875PBZ board that appears to exist in 2 versions...the 875
and the i875 chipset.

I've googled, gone to the Intel site and read many forum threads about the
D875PBZ. For the life of me I cannot figure if there are any significant
differences between the 875 and i875 chips. I'm assuming, (yeah, yeah I know
what they say about assuming), the i875 chip is superior here.

If the 875PBZ was state-of-the-art today, and other than being the
latest/greatest what would make you choose the i875 chipset over it's
brother, the 875?
