Can anyone please advise me what are the best choices for a micro atx motherboard for a Duron/Athlon.

Are there any that offer
-UDMA 100
-DDR
-more than two memory slots
-integrated video and/or sound and/or NIC

I'm trying to keep the costs to a minimum and am not looking to overclock.

Any help'd be much appreciated.

You shouldn't have too much trouble finding one. I am looking for all the same stuff as you, but I don't want any integrated stuff. But I have seen Asus' A7A266 with or without sound looks good. Iwill make's another one that looks good. And afriend of mine was telling me about an FIC mobo, but I haven't looked into that. www.motherboards.com, (http://www.motherboards.com,) and motherboardsexpress.com have a lot of good stuff

If you want integrated video etc. Go to www.pricewatch.com (http://www.pricewatch.com) > motherboards > sis730 chipset
You may have trouble finding this with DDR capability most are PC133 sdram.

No DDR chipsets w/ integrated VGA just yet. Gotta wait for SiS 740 and ALi CyberMagik.

No DDR mATX boards at all yet either.

A good no-VGA mATX board is the ECS K7VZM aka PC-Chips M805, VIA KT133A chipset, onboard LAN and sound. AGP 4x slot, two PCI slots (or was it three, can't remember).

About the only widely available all-in-one is the PC-Chips M810LMR - this one has it all, VGA, sound, LAN, plus AMR modem riser included; two PCI and an AGP 4x slot for future upgrades. SiS 730S chipset. Not fast, but good enough for serious-business computing and lowres gaming.
