Ok....motherboards....the spinal cord of the PC. Everyone likes to preach processor/video card. Well....pfft. If you don't have a mobo with balls...then it means nothing. Five years ago...the best used to be from a company called SuperMicro. They have narrowed the line down to server boards so we won't go there for this venture. That's project 2. Asus made a good board and still does...but they specialize in integrated boards....the 'all in 1' stuff. So my 2 cents comes to this board by a company called DFI. It has every thing you need to push that 800 FSB chip you ordered yesterday. My Choice This package comes with everything you need. The ONLY thing i DON'T like is it does have the integrated Audio which you said you don't want. However, I showed you how to turn that off in the BIOS so you can use the sound card you want to use. It also comes with the round IDE cables for better airflow inside the case AND FrontX cables to allow front ports for your case. I wasn't gonna post here because I hate a pissing contest between PC users.
