This is the current motherboard i'm running now http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu...en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=471645&lang=en
It came 'stock' with my compaq computer. I use the front USB ports and audio ports on a regular basis, as well as the media card reader in the 5.25" drive bay.
However the one HUGE disadvantage is that there is AGP and not a PCI-e 16X slot, so upgrading the video card is greatly now. I'm happy with my processor (3300+ running at 2.40 Ghz) and right now i have 1gb of memory, someday I'll upgrade everything but for now just thinking about the mobo and video card.
Would there be any board out there with the frontside audio connections, usb, and for the memory card readers? The only thing this board has that I really don't need is the firewire, since i don't use it.
