Help the N00by n00b choose his board!

[kathode]

Hi,
I'm having trouble choosing between two boards for my new Athlon XP2000/GeForce4 4600 system. Here are my choices:

Abit KR7A + Audigy sound card
Asus a7n266c (the nForce without video)

I've heard the Audigy card eats up much more CPU time than the nForce audio. That true? Is the Asus a good board?

Thanks for your help!

The abit board will run faster and have more overclocking options than the asus. I've had better luck with abit customer service. Newegg had the kr7a-133 for only $99 shipped (refurbished with 30 day warranty). They also had the asus a7v-266e with raid for only $123 shipped (refurbished).

I would go for the epox 8kha+ thats my vote!
