First of all, I'd get a decent board, like the NF7-S, which comes from a company that's going to be here next year, Abit.

Hi Crashman, thanks for the reply.

Why do you think that the Soyo SY-KT880 Dragon 2 v2.0 its not a decent mainboard. He gives me the possibility of keeping my pc for years. I have 4 dimms, and I can put a lot of storage. And it gives me good performances in gaming. And it is one of the most recent socketA mainboard that i have found. Here is a review on it : http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.cfm?articleid=556&cid=3
