Either one of the Granite Bay boards or a 845PE board. Check into features offered and match that with what you want. I like the boards put out by Asus.;)
I know this should be in the General Forum but it seems to be down for some reason so I am posting this here. After much gnashing of teeth I have decided to go for an AMD platform and not aim for any overclocking. These are the main components I have decided upon:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe MB
AMD...
I would like to see more on the sound capabilities of these boards as well. However I should point out that the APU used on the nForce2 is the same one used on the original nForce boards, only the SoundStorm expansion card is really new along with software updates. I have seen many people saying...
I believe the digital in and out expansion card is not included with it. Thats what I have seen in several reviews. The board has a digital out port and the headers are there if you want to plug in the expansion card, just remember that you can't use both digital out ports at once when you have...
Since right now any mobo that has SATA on it still has to go through the PCI bus (basically just a controller card onboard) is it worth it to even put a SATA HD in your system, performance wise, or should you just stick with ATA HD's until a chipset comes out next year with SATA intergrated...
Seagate started shipping their 80GB and 120GB Serial ATA drives on the 2nd, and over at OCWorkbench.com they have a review of the 120GB version. I really want one of these to put in my system. Here is the link:

By the way, I have heard...
They are all about the same, though the Asus and Chanitek boards have "special" sound drivers with extra features the Nvidia reference drivers don't give you but the hardware is still the same. Make sure you get a board with the MPC-T and not just the MPC. Basically, get a deluxe version of...
I found this in the Lost Circuits review of the Asus A7N8X.
quote
The A7N8X offers bus frequencies up to 211 MHz. Keep in mind that the MCP-T is linked to the SPP via HyperTransport and runs at a fixed frequency. Therefore, unlike in conventional designs, there are no worries to run the PCI...
I never got into overclocking too much before. The only real OC'ing I've done is run my old Pentium 133 on a 83MHz FSB so it ran as a 166, though with the bus increase it benched as about a 200MHz. My next system I was limited by the mobo to a max of 75MHz FSB so I could only OC my Celeron to...
Your right mechBgon about how the nForce2 mobos work, but we are talking about the P4G8X which is based on Intel's Granite Bay chipset. From what I have heard your SB live! would be better than the onboard Realtek solution, and I am sure you can disable it if you want via the bios or jumper.:)
AGP 8X cards from Nvidia are starting to show up now. They are just the regular GF4 line with AGP 8X tacked on, except for the GF4 MX line which got a little speed boost as well as AGP 8X. There is the Ti4200-8x and soon the Ti4600-8x will be out. It was going to be called the Ti4800 and still...
I have read on several web boards that the AMD T-bred "A" and "B" procs come unlocked for higher multiplieres. I have since read that if you have a KT400 or nForce2 based mobo and T-bred chip it is completely unlocked (Higher and LOWER multipliers) so long as you have the newest bios update for...
