    Good motherboard?

    I've decided to just put together my own computer. The only thing I have a problem with finding (because I don't know much about them) is the motherboard. Whats good? I was told Intel Gigabyte is good, but im not sure what model. I don't need intergrated audio/video, but if it comes with it I want to be able to disable it and add my own. So please post some suggestions,

    ASUS A7N8X Deluxe

    Just built a new PC and used this incredible board. It totally rocks. It's got integrated sound that is equal to if not superior to Audigy 2's sound.

    ASUS just release the same board with an -E designation which has built in WIFI.

    Get it here. They have the best prices and ship ultra fast.

        Im ordering all my shit from there. I'll be most likely getting a 4.1 sound system for my system, so I am really looking for something without integrated audio. Do you know if you can add a sound card to that mother board?

          Depends on what type of memory you want. I suggest you get a dual-channed DDR400 compatible motherboard. Anything by Gigabyte is great. I have one with the SIS655 chip, rock solid. Newer chips are out thou.

            are you getting P4 or Athlon XP?

            I would recommend Athlong XP with the A7N8X mobo
            my pc has never ever crashed or locked up on me
            it's as stable as a rock
            and the mobo just has tons of great features
            with it you dont have to buy a lan card or a sound card or firewire card

              Yes you can, but seriously I'm an audio perfectionist and this SoundStorm chip is unreal quality. Top, top acoustics from it.

              I had been planning to put an Audigy 2 in but once I heard the integrated sound, I realized it wasn't needed. Its that good.

                      I love SuperMicro boards.

                      I have bought over 40 of them and never had one go bad or was DOA.

                      Top quality boards and decent support.

                          Then make sure you get an Hyper-Threading, 800MHz FSB mobo.

                              I should have added, I have decided to spend $1,000 on this computer. Not anymore or any less.

                                          I love ASUS products, but I have stayed away from their MB lately. I have stuck to Intel, and have had good results. The Intel 865PERL handles p4 800Mhz FSB and DDR 400 Memory ( I like Corsair).

                                              i have this one too for 4 computers here, already running for 5 months good no without problems, and stable, not much reboots.

                                              but this is for a AMD CPU.

                                              Just built a new PC and used this incredible board. It totally rocks. It's got integrated sound that is equal to if not superior to Audigy 2's sound.

                                              ASUS just release the same board with an -E designation which has built in WIFI.

                                              Get it here. They have the best prices and ship ultra fast.

                                                Asus P4C800-E Deluxe. Absolutely the best of the current boards.

                                                It's the only one of the lot with the Ethernet off of the PCI bus.

The only thing I have a problem with finding (because I don't know much about them) is the motherboard. Whats good? I was told Intel Gigabyte is good, but im not sure what model. I don't need intergrated audio/video, but if it comes with it I want to be able to disable it and add my own. So please post some suggestions,
