computer hardware advice?

newegg.com is a good place to go for most all your computing needs. Or pricewatch.com for extreme bargain hunters.

Newegg sucks if you don't know exactly what you're looking for, their sorting options and spec sheets fall short. I'm dissappointed that my favorite old vendor, www.microwarehouse.com, has been absorbed by CDW. I wonder if they were victims of Katrina? The guys at www.directron.com seem to have decent prices, that's where my motherboard came from in 2002.

By the way, anyone with sharper eyes than mine spot any difference between these two boards, apart from the built-in WIFI adapter?

Built-in WIFI ain't worth $80 to me.

Why Intel over AMD?

Sound card?
The one on the mother board is now quite good but you will probably hear the difference
