I'm looking at rebuilding a new system, and having been 4 years since my
last build, I'm a bit out of date. I'm looking at getting a Pentium III 933
but don't know which motherboard I should get. I'm assuming an Intel 815E
chipset but I haven't found anywhere to tell me what sort of socket or slot
I need for the processor! Am I right in saying I could choose my processor
to be either a Slot 1 or a socket 370? Which one is better and can anyone
guide me toward a good motherboard. I'm not playing games with the system
but do need it for sound and music recording, therefore it has to be a
stable system. What sort of Memory would I be looking at too?

Thanks in advance

Matt
