Thats a fine motherboard although are you sure you want to go with an
athlon 64? That's added expense that will not likely be used because
their software won't support the features the processor offers.

I'd stick with an athlon xp board.

I've watched dozens of motherboard combos being sold at Fry's and
asked about the return rate. The salesman told me about 10% come back
and they find about half of those run perfectly.

My point is that I'd find it difficult to choose anything for a
church other than whats on sale at Fry's or your favorite online
store. Fry's has dirt cheap ECS combos that include the 8KTA3 ver 8.0
, K7S5A Pro ver 5.0 and the L7S7A.

Take the money you save by not going with the 64 and buy a good ups
and external backup system.
