A few definitions that may help , 

 Triton is the chipset on the motherboard that handles h/drives com ports etc
 triton is `probably` the best chipset available right now although triton2 is
 in the pipeline.

 Endevour & Atlantis are intel mother boards (baby AT EV/AS)
 both are very good reliable boards the endevour usually comes with built in
 soundblaster sound , the Atlantis can have integrated sound and graphics.

 Pci refers to the type of boards (graphics etc.) which plug into the m/board
 and is the current standard.

 If you go for either an endevour or an atlantis I doubt you will be 
 disappointed.
 
 Make sure that whatever you buy you get a socket 7 (cpu socket) and pb cache
 either soldered on the board or as a plug in.
