Hello Pigeon, For my money, the A7M266-D from Asus still takes some beating, even though it does take away one of your slots with an included adaptor card for USB 2, but unless you need that, you're not forced to use it. Asus have the best motherboard manuals, also. It's hard to get a board these days without onboard sound, I'm afraid. There are a few around that are reasonably good value, and you're better off searching on the manufacturers site, e.g., MSI, before looking in the stores. Also, a google on 2CPU will deliver a reasonable resource for advice on dual boards. Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
