Go for intel or asus with SATA support . this can help u maintain ur comp updated for another 3 years .
How abt intel 975 , with a supportive 260 / .5 tb hdd and a suitable RAM

Point No. 1.....
getting a SATA supporting mobo in no way will make ur comp up-to-date for 3 years.... u need to have a modern socket type....


and why on earth do u want to upgrade ur motherboard if the Hard disk has doveloped bad sectors......... WHY ON EARTH

Hey ..
thats just how a commoner like me refer them ..
@anatnash
Ya its gud idea to change MOBO if the dealer cant resolve problems. Sometimes mobos can be faulty enough to corrupt a HD.

I am hearing of badsectors after so many years after the win 98 era .
