It has been over 4 years since I built my computer and much has changed in that time. I haven't kept up with the computer tech and so I'm at a bit of a loss. A friend wants a new computer for home that can use Windows XP. She just doesn't want to have to purchase all new programs. In particular, I'm wondering what motherboards are compatible with XP. She's looking for something that will run basic office programs, surf the net, do a little photo editing, and some minor video editing, as well as watch dvd's.

I'm partial to ASUS boards, but I also like MSI. Any suggestions?

All Motherboards are compatible with XP - as a matter of fact - most major OSes - you just need the drivers for the chipset to run properly.
I would go for Asus and Gigabyte.
