I would consider an Nforce board with integrated video and sound. Pricewatch shows the Asus A7N-266VM (Micro-ATX + Integrated Video, Sound, LAN) foir $67 shipped. It even has an AGP port, if you ever plan to upgrade the video card.

no offense, but
YOU IDIOT, GF2 is AGP. The system would have to be at least 5-7 years old for it to not have AGP.

BTW, Biostar, bleh... That's almost generic. No offense if you own stock in Biostar... Never had one. Biostar is probably SiS for sissy.

new cheap dell systems (the 2000 series) DO NOT have AGP slots with on board. they are paired with a P4 or a celly, NOT 4,5 YEARS OLD

think before you flame, and if you dunno squad, shut up


and one more vote for the nforce board. either that or shop for a refurb KT333 (or even a refurb n-force2 for $90's!!!) on newegg. all KT333 mobo's are stable and they are one of the best chipsets VIA ever made.

I know so many people with this board and only one had a flakey one and that was when they just came out. The board has matured considerably in the meantime and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!
