This is a good board, however not worth the price tag. May I recommend the Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 PRO-G (www.newegg.com)

Specifications:
Supported CPU: Intel Pentium 4 Processors(HT Ready, Prescott Ready)
Chipset: Intel 865PE + ICH5
FSB: 800/533/400MHz
RAM: 4x DIMM for Dual-Channel DDR400/333/266 Max 4GB
IDE : 2x ATA 100 up to 4 Devices
Slots: 1x AGP 8X/4X(1.5V only), 5x PCI
Ports: 2xPS/2,1xLPT,2xCOM,8xUSB2.0(Rear 4),1xLAN,1xGAME,Audio Ports
Onboard Audio: Realtek ALC850 8-Channel Codec
Onboard LAN: Marvell 8001 Gigabit Ethernet
Onboard SATA: 2x SATA 150
Onboard 1394: TI TSB43AB23, 2 Ports
Form Factor: ATX

This board has an 8 channel onboard sound, and Gigabit Ethernet. Im not sure what that SOFTMENU™ TECHNOLOGY is though. I'm assuming that its some sort of BIOS feature, but this board has its ups too including Dual BIOS.

I dont have a problem with the board, and it may be the best investment in my machine.
