I am looking for a super-budget Intel Mobo that is just ROCK SOLID. My only requirements are Pentium D and Core Duo accepting (not sure yet if a Pentium D would cause a power problem, PCI-E built in sound (doesn't have to be awesome, just there), built in NIC, can use SATA HDDs, and isn't screwed with Vista. I don't think that is much to ask. There will be no OC'ing on this box. I just want it to run well and be inexpensive as I am building this for my parents who will just use it for general word processing, internet, and other easy stuff.
Here is an example of what I thought might be a good idea since ASUS is a good company.

Also I planned on Intel just because I think they are more comfortable with it, but would it be a better idea to go with an AMD setup for savings?
