Friends,
I want to assemble a new PC on E4400/E4500. Please suggest a good motherboard that have on board graphics, onboard sound, Can install WinXp SP2, Vista Premium and Linux. Produce less heat. Brand does not matter. But should be availble easily. This PC will be used for;
1) Adobe Photoshop
2) Corel Draw
3) Adobe PageMaker
4) Acrobat Professional
5) Oracle 10g
6) JBuilder 2007
7) Some light games and watching movies
8) Of course web browsing!

vista premium with onboard......not a good idea. . ....
one of the best mobos is abit ip35-e .. ....it has great onboard audio and awsome potential......buy an entry level graphic card along with it coz it has no onboard graphic solution......ip35-e costs 5.2k and a good entry level graphic card shud be 2k-4k

If it is GMA X3000 or Radeon HD X1250 or GeForce 6150 or above class onboard graphics then there will be no problem.

^^^^ No way he should use Photoshop with single channel RAM. Go for Intel DG31PR if u don't plan to over clock.
