Socket 939 is the future. Consider one of those if the price isn't too 
different. Some people report that nforce chipsets aren't as well 
supported under Linux as VIA ones, YMMV. nforce4 chipsets typically 
don't have AGP.

It has been reported that seagate have 5 year guarantees and this makes 
it worth paying a few extra dollars for a seagate. The price 
differential should not be large.
