If i were you, i would not consider getting anything other than a nvidia 
NForce4 chipset, which will mean that you'll need a pci express video 
card, not agp.  Josh Snyder (who is on the rescue list, but not geeks 
and is cc'ed on this message) could tell you all the details about what 
boards to get.
