1. Does this look like a decent motherboard? (good specs?)
2. Does "On board 6-Channel AC 97 CODEC" mean that it already has an on-board sound card?
3. Is AGP 8x what I need for new graphics cards?
Do you have any other recommendations for different MBs? I don't want to spend too much and don't need insanely high capabilities, but I want something that I'll be able to use for a while (that takes priority over cost).
Also, any advice on processors would help too (Pentium vs. AMD, cache sizes, FSB speed, etc.)
