I like my Gigabyte GA-MA780G-UD3H mobo with AM2+/AM2 socket. 8GM RAM, 6 SATA, 1 (or 2, I forget) rear eSATA, lots of USB, a front and rear Firewire and decent on-board audio. On-board ATI video with separate video RAM, but I installed a fanless NVIDIA card because the driver situation is *simple*, and it's fast. -- Dissent is patriotic, remember? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
