After getting my DSL and everything. The DSL messes up after 10min. SBC tells me its my computer so I am looking at motherboard (Asus A7N8X Deluxe Retail) because I have everything in my computer from the last time and it messes up. So now, I am getting a refund from newegg for the amount of my motherboard. My PC:

AMD Athlon XP 1.6ghz
Kingston HyperX 512mb PC2700
Maxtor 40gb HDD 7800rpm
Nvidia GeForce 4 ti4600


Whats a good motherboard that will last me a long time and is really good? I am also about to upgrade my CPU sometime down the road... soon once I get more money.

The DSL service provider tech support will be quick to point the finger at your computer, because that means it's your problem not theirs. I tend to agree that it's probably not a problem with your old m/b.
