I don't see where buying a board that the fastest FSB is 533 is cheaper
than a board with 800 FSB.
Here is a vendor link with prices (disclaimer: I am not affiliated with
TCWO)

I would go for a board with the Intel 865 chipset that way he can "save
money" on a cheaper P4 but can upgrade to a HT P4 that utilizes 800FSB.

Myself, I bleed AMD through and through.

Well like steve said, the differences in price between a 533 and 800 fsb are
small, so unless you get a really good deal on a P4b go with a P4c.

Even if you get the "deal on a P4b" still go with a board with 800fsb as it
will run it.

Yes true...like he said the low end 800mhz fsb board is relatively cheap.
