Avoid VIA KT333 based boards if you want to be
able to rip cds with
cdparanoia, I had to add another IDE card to my machine. Other than that
its a good chipset though.
If you're going IDE, avoid Maxtor like the devil. I run a lab and their
harddrives DIE. They start beeping(!!!) during startup and won't mount.
Maxtor is cheap, but sucky.
