Asus Tusl2-c

My Powerleap PL-iP3/T hasn't been treating me so well with my current motherboard, and I am interested in getting a board that will officially support my Celeron 1200. Though I have never owned one, I seem to recall that Asus has a good reputation for delivering good solid products. I am currently running an Abit BF6 which has treated me well in the past, and I am looking for another board that offers the same level of features and stability. I was just wondering what the general opinion of the TUSL2-C is around here. I have read a few posts that indicate there might be something wrong with this board. I would appreciate it if I could be filled in on some of the potential problems with this board. Any other board recommendations would also be appreciated. I am not fond of VIA, ALi or SiS chipsets by the way (that means I won't be running AMD anytime soon). I really like the looks of the serverworks III series, but it's a little bit out of my league...

One last problem. Believe it or not, I am still running an AWE64G (ISA) and I am pretty bitter about the lack of ISA slots on modern day motherboards. I would like to get a PCI soundcard with RCA output and good wave output. I would prefer to get something that isn't going to cost me a fortune. I am not familiar with modern sound products, but six speaker output, Dolby 5.1, and other such toys are really of no use to me.

Thanks to all for your time.

dont get the TUSL2 there are clearly better Tualatin boards out there i suggest the Abit ST6 or the Gigabyte Tualatin board, both are extremely good for ocing, also for your sound card, i would find an Audigy if you can afford itthey are quite sweet....

If cost is an issue the Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 is dropping in price now that the Audigy is out. It is an excellent sound card and still well supported.
