YOU can also read reviews of teh MB's.

An 01 is extremely dated MB.
Mine was just bought this year and I have a tendency to buy about a
year old stuff so mine is probably vintage 08.

I thought ATX was still the standard form factor.
Intel came up with a BTX form factor.

Well, as you've seen by now this isn't the case. The OP clings to the

equivalents don't work as well. I'm not sure where he got that idea,

It used to be if you wanted good sound you got an add on card, that myth
lasted longer because of companies who made these cards wanting to stay in
business. I know serious audiophiles say to move the sound card away from

You are right. I just crashed head first into 'duh'.

That's not sub standard, you just have old. There are a lot of nice mobos
with built in 5.1 surround...digital audio out..etc etc, I have one, it's
got fantastic sound. They carry the same chipsets the cards you buy.

The last MB I bought had HDMI Video, USB 2.0 and Firewire built onto
the Motherboard. The audio is not half bad. (Oh Also 10/100/1000 ethernet)
I cant remember but I think it had Nvidia chip set for Video.
I don't game so not a big deal, but I still think it was 128 MB
Unless you are looking at 200-300 sound cards.
I have seen extreme gamers put more into peripheral sound cards and
video cards than into the MB/Memory/Harddrive setup.
Remember PT Barnum's axiom there is a sucker born every minute.
They make the mistake and think price=quality and usability.

It doesn't have the capability of HDMI Video. The USB on
What the heck are you talking about? You already said you aren't a
gamer, so you don't need good video hardware; onboard video will more
than suffice for business apps.
Audio? Creative hasn't upgraded their cards in ages, and you said you
have an old Audigy. How often do you replace audio cards?
