I am in the process of putting together my first AMD computer. Considering using Athlon XP-2100, but can't decide on which motherboard to use. I would like to have AGP and DDR support. I would also like to try overclocking in the future. Don't see the need for RAID controller, fancy sound or video support on board. Any suggestions?

Most every mobo comes with built in Raid these days, which is a good thing. A Raid controller will speed up your HDD even if you arent using an array. I personally use a stripe array and I wouldn't ever consider anything less. A Few mobo's have built in sound but I too think of that as a useless feature, would rather use my Audigy X-gamer for sound & EAX and other fancy things.
I too am about to upgrade my aged P3 system to an Althon XP, 1800+ myself. Right now my money for a mobo is on the Soyo Dragon Ultra, (provided that the report of it refusing to post with an audigy card installed is a falsehood.)
