...Having no idea which Motherboard we needed to buy, we looked on the internet to see what was going for what price.
Having used Gigabye Motherboards in the past and never had any trouble with them the wisest thing to do was to keep to Gigabyte.
We decided on the GigabyteGA-945P-DS3 purely on the features it offered.

Advantages: Dual bios and great stability Disadvantages: Unnanounced conflicts and required settings
...GA-7VTX Socket A Gigabyte dual bios motherboard.
Introduction;
This Dual Bios motherboard designed to accept AMD/Duron/Athlon/XP processors,incorperates onboard sound,+4 USB,with DDR memorey and in innovative dual bios system.

Advantages: It is cheap and well constructed, comes with accessories Disadvantages: not recommended for overclocking
...This ATX board is very solid and low cost. It has on-board sound, 6 usb ports 2.0 (backward compatible with 1.1), 6 PCI slots. Can support up to 3Ghz processor (Athlon XP) and 3GB of DDR RAM. It uses a Via Kt400 chipset, and support 8x AGP graphic card (im currently using ATI 9800 pro 128MB)
The amzing thing about this board is it can support DDR400, the only downside is it cannot support all DDR400 memory. From what I know it can only support 1GB if using DDR400 but if using DDR333 (PC2700) you can go up to 3GB.
Depending on what version you get, this board comes with alot of accessories - Serial ATA cables, Ethernet, Bluetooth, cables and drivers.
The utilties featured on the drivers that comes with this board ensures that you get the best performance from your board. These are the utilities:
