Go go Newegg! Newegg is rather keen. I'd recommend them over Tiger Direct.

I woulda gone with an Nvidia chipset, myself; also, I don't think you need any more than 4 GB of ram; also also, your processor choice should be just fine. You ABSOLUTELY need a PCI-e graphics card, though: go with one of ATI's 4800 cards or Nvidia's 8600's, 8800's, or 9600's.

Hrm. Recheck the drivers? I mean, the motherboard should've come with a driver CD with the proper sound and ethernet drivers.

Also, 1394 isn't ethernet, it's firewire which is basically a sort of USB equivalent, as I recall.

Apparently the issue was with xp sp3 and realtek not being compatible, I have found a hotfix and everything works great!
