[QUOTE="jdiffend, post: 24431, member: 10910"] First of all, I'd go socket 754 and a 64 bit CPU. It's close to the same price for the speed and socket A is now a dead end. I also think you'll find features like hi-def audio are more common on 754 boards than Socket A and you can get built in DirectX 9 support in hardware. I have a Jetway I love and there is a 754 version of it. But they didn't put SPDIF on the 754 version of the board. Otherwise it would be perfect. Look for ATi and NVidea chipset boards that support DirectX 9. There should also be a DirectX 9 capable VIA chipset on the market some time soon... possibly by the end of the year. Just look for the features you want and the proper TV out for your setup. Many boards don't have TV out. [/QUOTE]
