I stopped using floppy drives, I use USB sticks instead.. 2GB... 4GBs. Why go back to 1.4MB drives lol!
I think any ASUS board with shit on board will do the trick.. I usually go for a deluxe or premium board so I know it's good. Check out their website
www.asus.com.tw I think.
Personlly I found Vista to be a horrid system but that's up to you.
