This will ve my second build first intel build. I am building this comp for my parents so it needs to be very reliable, i am in school out of town and cant be around to fix it all the time. My dad is an intel guys so i assume he will go with intel. So my question to u guys is what motherboard is very stable and reliable with a 2.8-3.2 ghz intel. I heard intel boards were good. It would be nice for the mobo to have lan, audio, and sata, so a fairly well equiped board? Another question i had was what proccesor northwood or prescott? The last question i had was what is a good video card for all around use, games, regular apps, internet, video editing, etc. What is better nvidia or ati? In my comp i have 9800 pro and so far has been very good. This comp will be used for a varity of things not very much gaming(internet, word, burning dvds, video, Auto Cad(Maybe), and other things. Please give me any input you can. Thanks ver much for your time. I will post a list of parts after i get some input (i order from newegg). Thanks agian
