On thing I would certianly recommend is that you get a board with the VIA
Apollo MVP3 chipset.  There is also another Super7 chipset made by Aladin, I
believe.  All the performance benchmarks I've read say that the MVP3 chipset
is superior--that's all I've used in Super7 boards, and I have been very
pleased with it.  (Both the FIC and DFI boards I've used use that chipset)
