What type of video adapter are you going to plug into it; AGP or PCIe?

I currently have an AGP 6800, but im not opposed to buying a new card.

I'd second getting a DFI or an ASUS motherboard for an A64. Spring for a PCI-E x16 board and a PCI-E x16 video card if you can get the money together for it. Buying an AGP board is just throwing your money away IMHO.

I am extremely happy with my very-full-featured Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-9 nF4 board.

If you don't plan on paying twice the price for an SLI board, the Asus A8N5X is a decent board. Just don't use the onboard audio. I've found the quality of the Realtek RLC850 to be quite lacking. Definitely invest in a decent PCI sound card.

This board supports dual core processors as well so you have another upgrade path.

ASRock is a devision of ASUS, it's their cheaper line.
