They're chipsets. So, basically any motherboard which features any of them in the name, is good (with in reason, obviously there are better brands). For example, the motherboard I linked you to, is;

GA-P35-DS3

If you look in the name, it's a P35 chipset, which are pretty good.
Also, I have the EVGA 750i FTW. Which is a 750i chipset. ;)

Make sense?

Agreed. The 750i is a great board, a little out of his price range though. It's £140 here in the UK. That's $280!

Well, Foxcon aren't a great brand. I've not dealt with them myself, but I don't see much of them, or hear many good things. With something like a Motherboard, I'd get a decent, well known brand, since it's the main part of a computer. Gigabyte, ASUS, EVGA, XFX, aBit... they're all pretty good.

I'm pretty sure that ATA is IDE, they're just different names for it. Do you have a link to the board?

Heh, don't apologize! :p That's why we're here.

Well, I think the P35 chipset is newer, so it'd be a better choice. Your call though :)
See what some more people suggest.
