Looking for a mini-ATX with on-board sound and graphics for an Athlon XP2100
processor. 266 MHz fsb is fine. Looking to replace an ECS board with SiS
chipset. Thanks all.
 
any reason you`d like a SiS chipset?

nforce and VIA's are other popular choices, and will widen your selection.
i`ve not used SIS chipset before, but i`ve had all good expeiences with VIA
and the nforce2 chipset.

also, what about things like mainboard spec? SATA, RAID, LAN, minimum USB
connectors, onboard VGA etc etc.

I don't need a SiS chipset...I was just pointing out what I now have.
Thanks.
 
The board should be ATA, with either PCI or AGP graphics onboard, sound and
NIC. This is for a very basic desktop system for a relative, who will be
running XP Home. I'd like to keep it as simple and as maintenance-free as
possible since I won't be tweaking it every day like I do with my own rig
:-)
 
ASUS makes a nice board with the NVIDIA chipset. I belive it sells for around
$60-$65. Check at newegg.com.
