Just a reminder: your current drive most probably is an IDE-drive. You
should check that the mobo you'll buy has IDE-bus available or upgrade
the drive to SATA. New drive costs something like 20€, but the waiting
for the last part is annoying (especially for something that cheap).
In my experience, Gigabyte is the mobo to go. I've already bought my
last (at least for some years) Asus (they seem to fail APIC), MSI
(attached a very sticky label to processor socket), Abit (fail, fail,
fail and eventually broke down) and even Intel (needed to patch the BIOS
to make the thing boot other than with extreme luck in the first place,
still staying a slightly unstable booter) - currently running 2
Gigabytes (both with AMD processors) without a single problem. I know
that's a small amount of pieces of electronics, but the first impression
is always the one that counts most.
