You might want to do some research to make sure that the MB you buy doesn't
cause any problems with crackling sound.
It's very common on motherboards for AMD, usually crackling occurs when
there is disk access (especially common on RAID systems) due to bad PCI
implentation.

I think he's looking to upgrade, it would
be kind of silly to run 98se if you are buying a brand new motherboard
regardless of which one he might chose. =)
imho gigabyte makes some great boards, I would
stear clear of anything that runs VIA chipsets, have had some serious
headaches with some of those boards.

I have to say that the nForce chipset is good under Xp or XP Pro... But
under Win 2K or 98SE you are not getting the most out of the board. BTW if
you got cash to burn I always buy IBM hard drives. They are the fastest IDE
drives on the planet. I put a IBM ATA 100 drive up against a Seagate Ultra
160 SCSI drive (Adaptec controler card), and the IBM beat it down... by 10MB
per sec though put. IBM has a 16BM cache model that is out or is coming out
soon. I have been a tech for 8 years now. I don't really like MSI or
GIGABYTEmyarse boards... I have found that FIC and ASUS are the best
consumer boards you can buy... If you have any ??? pm me at

amd machine
can easily disable onboard sound on most
motherboards
IDE drives are pretty fast these days, probably don't
need RAID, look into
getting a Western Digital special edition with the
8 meg cache, i just
picked one up and they blaze.
nothings too
big for a hard drive =P
