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.
