Most Popular MB & CPU

Which is the best selling AMD and Intel MB (Asus, of course)?

Which is the best selling MB overall?

Which board and cpu would most here recommend? A board used for internet
access and some cpu intensive apps, not a system for hard core gaming.

For HDs, do most recommend sticking with EIDE or is SATA the way to go now?

Thanks.

1) Asus is the largest seller of motherboards in the world.
2) The P4C800E-Deluxe is probably their best selling/ most stable
motherboard for use with Prescott CPU's.
3) SATA harddrives are a better bet than the older EIDE.

PATA / SATA. Non-10K, 160-200G bottom end. SATA for a couple bucks
more, some (marginal) performce gain. PATA took over after MFM/RLL. I
think when somebody sets a fire under SATA it'll definately take over.
