Looking for a NON-gaming board

[lamere]

what would you guys suggest?
he's only going to be recording music, he's not a gamer by any means.

all i know of are gaming boards

anything??

I think any machine all the way back to a late PIII would be ok just for recording music (unless you mean mixing as well, I've no idea how intensive that is). Just pick up whatever's cheapest on Newegg

If your friend is really hardcore about getting the most of his music recording experience, he should go for a Quad-core processor (Q6600), and an excellent audiophile grade soundcard such as the HT Omega Claro Plus:

His other components shouldn't really matter that much.
