Motherboard recomendations please?

[snidy]

I want the most stable, reliable, and fastest motherboard for a gaming machine, cost is no matter.
I want ddr memory, an athlon XP 1900 or better. and preferably no onboard sound.

there are lots of good boards, but for top of the line my vote goes for the soyo dragon+

the one thing you might not like about it is the onboard sound, but... its not the sucky ac'97 sound. its very high quality cmedia 6 channel sound (better then most sound cards )

a link to a great roundup at toms hardware, including 13 socketA motherboards

Take a look at Epox 8KHA+. Fast and stable. But comes w/ on-board sound (u can always disabled it).

Iwill XP333R or Shuttle AK35GTR.
