[LAU] What processor to buy?

[Patrick Shirkey]

Hi,

I use Asus boards with an Intel cpu. They have a flexible bios so you 
can have more control of the onboard IRQ's and their on board soundcard 
is reasonable quality for standard playback and just works even with 
jack which is a handy fallback.


Cheers
