Thanks everyone for your input. Since I'm in no real big hurry for a new computer, I'll keep on reviewing that epox motherboard. It sounds like some problems are occuring with it that may or may not have been fixed. Who knows. I'll just keep watching. Its funny because the problem they are getting with it (rebooting at start up) is sort of what I have been having with my abit be-6 for a couple of years. When I turn on the computer it starts but won't get the first beep and the monitor won't turn on. I hold the power button on for a few seconds, then wait 10 sec, then turn it on again and its fine. I'm just so used to it that I don't even try to fix it, and I wouldn't really know what I was doing if I tried, being such a beginner and all.
Thanks again. I think I'll keep on watching and learning for a while and see how things turn out with the board. I read good reviews, and some bad with that boot problem, so I'll watch.
Another question I just got is about onboard sound with motherboards. If it indicates it has onboard sound, does that mean it already has a soundcard built into the board and I don't need one? Sorry if its silly question, I guess I just don't know what that means, and if its ok to use other soundcards. I'm sure you can.
Also, I'll look into an external modem.
Pete
