OK. I am in the market for a Socket A board and would like some help and info on what I should look for. Here is what I have for the rest of the parts:
AMD T-Bird 1gig AXIA chip (I won this at the Team AMD Tech Tour about 3 weeks ago now)
512MB PC133 that I can steal from my other system. This is Micron Brand.
2X 15.3 Gig IDE ATA/66 7200RPM WD Drives.
8X4X32 CDRW Philips brand.
TNT2 M64 32MB AGP video (Will upgrade to Geforce2 Pro 64MB DDR soon.)
SB Live not 5.1
Intel DSL Modem card.

I am looking for a stable, high preformance board. I am willing to change to DDR if the system is stable, and the preformance increase is worth the couple extra dollars. Raid is not required, and overclocking is not top priority either. The one thing I don't want is to buy a board now and then wish I had bought something else in a couple weeks.
I have been looking at some MSI, ASUS, and EPOX DDR boards. Please recommend brand and models, chipsets or even review web sites where I can get more info too.
The last thing is which stores or online sites do you recommend to buy from?
Thanks,
Truxman
