Can't go far wrong with an Abit NF7-S in my book :)

I put my $0.02 in for the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe.

I agree with fishybawb's choice or this one...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130475 = $58.50 USD shipped.

No need to spend $100 on a motherboard.

Good luck! :D

True, but the Asus board comes with NVidia soundstorm audio, so no need to spend $$$ on an Audigy sound card when you have that quality integrated audio. Saving from buying an Audigy sound card makes it worthwhile IMO.

Good point. I guess it's all about what your needs are. :t

Very true. If you don't need high-end onboard audio, and AC'97 is enough for you, it would be pretty pointless to spend the extra $30 to get it. :)

Last Socket A I built was an Asus board,, still a great one if you ask me,, I agree with both the boards mentioned though :t

If you want soundstorm go with the NF7-S. It’s cheaper and solid.

How's this for cheap?

I love them. They have SuperBoot and Super Recovery (like Ghost except built into the BIOS).

Otherwise, the NF7-S is awesome.
