Kjetil,

Thanks for that -- I'm planning on either the MSI or ASUS m/board but I forget 
currently whether the dual board have the built in audio (nevermind - good 
info anyway).  I was thinking of keeping the ES1371 from my existing machine 
for low-end stuff, then remembered I might be getting built in audio, so it's 
good to know it's good enough.

In fact, I may forego the Audiophile for now...
