There are some issues with support for the NVidia and SiS based motherboards, the Sound and NIC support is iffy. If you don't mind some tweaking t get the NIC to work, and getting a real soundcard, go for the A7N8X, otherwise go for a good i845 based P4 board, with real video (The only issue with intel based boards is the horrific video support.)
