Hello:  I presently have a Asus HX botherboard with 200mmx in AT form
factor.  I would like to get a new motherboard, but have not kept up with
all the possible slots and sockets and configurations.  I was hoping to stay
with the AT form.  Am I just dreaming or is that pretty much  history?  I
don't need the latest and greatest but would like the "sweet spot" to buy
now.  Can anyone update me on what would be good, should I really go with
ATX, what chip set is currently recommended and has been the least trouble.
I do now that the BX chip set has been out for awhile.  Could I do better
then that.  Thank you
