2 and 3, ac97 is decent, but since its integrated, u cant use hardware 3d sound w/o killing ur cpu

1, b no matter what

4, who the hell is AOC?

5, acer is perfectly fine in terms of monitors (acer is now benq, so dont be confused)
(man i remember when i got my first PC... it was an acer with a p66. ithe only game i liked to play was Jazz Jackrabbit... i still have that game. it was FUN as hell)

NO&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; YOU MEAN EPOX 8RDA3+&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Epox is generally regarded as a better overclocker, and ASUS is generally regarded as more reliable.

also,

1. B if you plan to overclock at all.
2. You know, sound quality among most audio chipsets, is really hard to tell apart.
3. Depends on the setup of the Board itself, I know my Nforce sound, (MCP-T) has its own sound controller, (98% sure) so though its hardware sound, that doesnt mean its not set apart from the CPU itself.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
