Suggested and implemented, yielded horrid results. Driver rolled back...

Spoke to my IT prof Thursday and he suggested running ubuntu off a disk. If the sound it still broken it's hardware, if it's fine then it's Windows. (Now why didn't I think of that...)
Gonna give that a try hopefully tomorrow. If there are any additional suggestions in regards to that plan lemme know.
killermonkey:
agree on the "why didn't I think of that" sentiment... be careful though, if the broken hardware is in a certain spot that isn't activated by the linux driver then you'll get a false result. I still stand by my initial eval of broken hardware :-)

Still stand by that too? ::)
I gave your initial hardware hunch the highest probability right from the get-go (and still do); I just like to take every precaution, because this universe is arranged such that the one thing I don't do out of x things is the one that bites me in the ass...

REWIND
Well the laptop thing is going to have to take place some time next week so I'm back to my own endeavors.
I've narrowed it down to four motherboards and have no idea which is best bang for buck (or even which has the most bang).
What confuses me is when a number of them say they have one PCIe and one PCI-Express... I know they're the same thing so that must mean something else.
The mo-bos in question are here, here, here and here. (List here)
CPU as far as I know remains the same as does the RAM, and went with jj's case suggestion (but one above ;)) which ties in with Major's suggestion of ATX for moar slots. (Figured out where I'm going to put a 20" case as well.)
Your thoughts on the motherboards? That's really the only obstacle left.
