Good folk,

I have built a scant few desktop systems. All featured
Intel cpu's and chipsets. The last I built was a year
ago. I am somewhat out of touch.

Myself and a friend with similar experience need to
build a desktop system for a retired gentleman who
is expected to run only Quicken and a web browser.
Cost and reliability are top priority: performance
is much less important.

My friend has an old AT case and power supply. We are
thinking that it _might_ be practical to find a good
inexpensive lo-end motherboard with built-in features
(sound, etc.) that supports AMD K6-2 cpu, socket 7.

My friend is looking at Amptron boards. I lack
familiarity with the equipment, vendors.

Any advice is welcome. Should we be looking at
Amptron boards? Soyo? SIS or other chipsets??

  Zalut and TIA,
  David
