Hi all -

I'm planning to build my first computer and I need some suggestions as far
as brands and specs are concerned. Also, would it be better to get a board
with the processor integrated already or buy the two separate?

Thanks to all who respond!

No boards come with an integrated processor; they do come with integrated
sound and/or video and/or LAN.

You can check the "PC Magazine" or "Computer Shopper" web site for
motherboard reviews.

It really depends upon what type of a system you want. I always match
the processor with the MOBO. If you are into gaming I would look at 64
bit processors and PCI Express video boards. I'm partial to AMD
processors and Asus MOBOs but Abit also makes good MOBOs.

I am upgrading the motherbroad to a system that currently has XP pro 2ed. i
was looking very seriously at the amd 64 bit processors with the asus mobo's,
is there anything i need to do in particular to make this as seamless as
possible? thanks in advance for replies.
