Do a search using Search Boards for what to buy and etc. For right now i am going to buy the Abit KG7 MB. You can read more about it here

A decent M/B is the Asus A7M266 w/AMD 761 chipset, but you may want to wait a little while for Asus to build on the new upcoming KT266A chipset. Read the reviews on this chipset (KT266A) in THG, they are impressive.

Wait for a top-tier motherboard maker to release a SiS735 board. Although the KT266A chipset may be faster, I bet it will still have the same stability and compatability issues as its little cousins if it uses the same southbridge.

It doesn't. It uses the brand-new 686c Southbridge.

Im still betting the "new" southbridge will have lots of bugs--hence, stability and compatability issues.
Get ready to call an exterminator.
Go for SIS!!!

I'm getting sick of the ~4 threads that we've had this same conversation in

If I may, I'd suggest the Epox EP-8K7a board (EP-8K7a+ if you want RAID). They are very well designed, fast, and full of features. I have never had a problem with mine, and they are pretty inexpensive. Furthermore, I have never heard of someone having a problem with them. Great board.
