What would be the best mobo for the following things I want to add on? what kind of memory should I use(ddr ddr2)? This is for a gaming system. Last question, would all the parts I just listed work well with each other?

2 Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB Hard Drive

ATI Radeon X1900 XTX Video Card

I'd go with an Asus board that has the features you are looking for. You must use DDR memory; Athlon's can't use DDR2 memory as yet. All of those parts would work just fine together.

Try one from the Asus A8N series, perhaps the Asus A8N-E. They are excellent boards.

I'd use the ASUS A8N-E. Oh wait....I did!

Another choice would be an ASUS A8N5X, which has a few less features than the A8N-E.
