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.
