What would you use for a basic computer with- - -

[FOH]

audio and video built in on the motherboard. I am building a computer for our church and only need a basic STABLE computer, nothing fancy. It will only be used for word programs, e-mail, publisher, etc. Cost is very important, but I don't want junk either. Anyone have any sugestions?

An 810 based motherboard and a celeron.

BX is really smart! Duron is faster, but you wont regret putting a cely in it. Possibly not more stable, just easier for when they get new hardware, etc. (I think all us A7V owners know what I mean).

Thanks guys!!! Any particular brand stand out as being more reliable or more stable than others?

Yep, Asus as well as Abit are top-notch.

Thanks again!! That is what I was thinking also---just wanted to get somone else's input to make sure I was doing the right thing. THANKS

If you want really stable get the Intel CA810. Comes with video and audio built on. But, the better choice would be a Asus P3W-E or something like that.

Umm... don't use abit, they have a fairly high rma rate. I like Asus, but there are other good brands
