Hey guys, I'm putting together a Duron PC for someone. I need it to be of good quality, but as cheap as it can get. I'm probably gonna get a Duron 850 MHz. Need suggestions on motherboard. She's not gonna be gaming at all, so something with onbaord video might be an attractive option...as well as onbloard sound. I just need the motherboard to be capable of using an Athlon T-Bird 1.2/1.4. Doesn't matter much between DDR or SD RAM. Since they're both so cheap, DDR might be the best way to go. Suggestions on video cards and sound cards would also be helpful if the motherboard doesn't have onboard.

I don't want to hear why I should get an Athlon over a Duron or anything else like that. I'm just trying to build a decent system for word processing etc., that can be used for a while, and is a decent upgrade path. I'll probably go with a 10 GB HD...if I can find one that is...so no Patssle, I'm not getting the Seagate Baraccuda IV.

Thanks a lot guys.
