Talking My best say EVER!

I just got my new mobo today. Before I had a very crappy board by ACORP. It had no OC options, it was slot-1, cost me about $70 shipped, had no hardware monitoring, and had a dead floppy controller. Today I got my gigabyte 6vtx with the via 694T chipset. It has voltage ajustment, fsb 1MHz increment up to 200MHz, volt and temp monitoring, and sound. Before my board could not play sound without clicks, and would bsod about once every 1-2 hours. The best part so far is this board was $49.99 with free shipping from newegg. I will post the link in the hardware deals section. Well, just had to say how happy I am. Plus the board is turqiose, so if I ever get a window, it'll match my case.

Current sys;
windows XP pro
celeron 1GHz coppermine, gonna be 1.2 Tually soon
2x 512mb of samsung 72bit ECC, yes it's major overkill
radeon VE @ 200/400 with 17in HP monitor
Gigabyte 6vtx
All Turquiose ATX case with 300w psu

Wow, I can't believe I have a stable system. Just a note to pfirst time builders, if you're building a new system don't buy a cheap motherboard, all motherboards are not created equal.
