building a system for a co-worker (athlon XP based of course!) and would like some suggestions on a good (not expensive) ddr board. dont' need raid, onboard Lan is always a good option to have. I've got an ecs k7s5a board so haven't been payin close attention to the latest DDR boards out there now. above all it has to be a stable board.

it'll have the following in it:

XP 2000+ (most likely)
512 pc2100 DDR (or possibly pc2700 in case he wants to upgrade to a 333fsb XP processor down the road)
80gig WD 8meg hard drive
ati 7500 or 9000 vid card
5.1 sb live value (they're cheap now! and good cards)

also, vid card recommendations are always welcomed too! dont' wanna go above $100 cdn as the guy's not gonna be doing much gaming, though he'll prolly wanna play a few now and then.
