No onboard graphics card; it is a craphics card.

Refuses to run Win2000, hard drive too small to be useful Linux server, no network card, and 3 minute battery live, so it might get thrown out of a window or used as a fancy alarm clock soon.
-----------------------------
We have 4 other computers in our house; 2 laptops, an old-ish Dell and my brother's comp, which basically has the same specs as mine -1 drive and -crap case.
I also have a spare GeForce4 TNT2, a spare AMD 1400+, and tons of parts, so I may build another PC to sell once I order the Socket A mobo I need for it.

May I ask why you are going to rape that nice CPU with such an aweful MoBo? :O Just seems a lil weird :p Nice CPU + GPU but a bad MoBo Neg. Good Mobo.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157085
Don't diss a brand, unless it is like PC Chips or something. AsRocks is new, but they have a ton of potential. This board definently has the most bang for the buck. The only complaint i have about that board you picked there psyco is that it only supports 4GB of RAM (though knowing you you probably wont even use that) and it only supports PC3200, personally i would have found one that supprots PC4000, but thats just me.
Other than that, its a nice sounding mobo and reviews usually dont lie, and if thats the case it sounds like people are pretty happy all across the board with it.
There are only 7 AMD mobos on the Egg that support 8Gb ram, n00b
There are none on the Egg that are over PC3200 for the RAM frequency...
So it really is a good mobo, haha.
The thing about DDR2 RAM (over 3200 speed) is that the new RAM pin interface is very new, and does not work (as far as I know) with socket 939s YET. I am not sure if there is a technical limitation on it, but it seems like there must be if there are none out yet.
Hopefully I won't be disappointed by AsRocks. Supposedly they even overclock well, but you cannot believe everything you hear. I would be satisfied if it just ran as well as my current mobo, and by the reviews, I think I will be very pleased. Then personally i wouldnt go with the Egg, Noob, lol
Im just saying that i would have opted for the PC4000 or DDR2 support simply to think of for the future if i was making a gaming PC. As for 8GB of RAM thats more of a dream then actually obtainable...
Ok, let's not go with the egg. Find me a mATX mobo with a 16x PCI-E slot, socket 939, and DDR2 standard. Oh, and under my budget of $75 for a mobo. Good luck, you will need it (I think) who said anything about a budget, im just saying that they existed...
Well can you find one with that disregarded? I want to know, because I haven't seen one 
My current computer:
AMD ATHLON64 3200+
1GB dual ddr Ram
80GB HDD western digital + 300GB external HDD
Nvidia Ge force 6600GT 256
Nec dvd-r
.....
I thought AsRock was a cheap ass Asus board. Also, I had a few problems with AsRocks before. Anyways, I just like to use established products, so I was just wondering.
As for the PC3200, that's official support. My MoBo also "only" has 3200 support, but the manual states it can handle up to 4800 I believe. Actually, it is probably 4400. Anything higher is DDR2. If the motherboard will support up to 3200, it will naturally run higher frequency RAM at the motherboard's native frequency of 3200. This means it would be a waste to buy 4400 RAM because it would run as 3200.
AsRocks is a complete different company than Asus (I think, have not researched it). I have always used Asus in the past, but I have heard better things about the AsRock board than the Asus alternative.
Put this together over the end of the summer and fall of 2005:
Rig, Asus 754 Socket MoBo AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Proc OC to 2.64,
2 Gbs RAM (3200),
4x250 Gbs SATA 2 Gb RAID & 320 Gbs Hard Drives.
XFX 6800 GT Nvidia w/ Silencer OC 20%.
SB Audigy 2 ZS Gamer.
DL DVD burner.
And So on all in a Clear Blue Acrylic Case by Sunbeam
I got it mostly from NewEgg and I love it.
[/img] ^^ hey nice rig there bro! I love the cooling setup you got there.
Ill put some pics up of my rig once i get it finished, i just finished the case swap and the processor ducting. Now im waiting on my GPU cooler to come in and my new processor heatsink and fan controlller. After that ill clean up the wires for a photo, right now the wires are sorta all over the place. After that im upgrading atleast my mobo so i can OC my processor if not both mobo and processor.
not exactly the best rig made (!!!!!) but contrast is needed here
(actually, i cobbled it when i was bored)
