Asus P5S800-VM (SIS) vs. Asus P5VD1-X (VIA)?

    After some advice and careful consideration, I have decided to go with the following basic setup for a new 'value' system:


    Pentium P4 630
    Corsair VS1G400C3 Value Select 1GB DDR400 PC3200
    Seagate 200 GB Barracuda 7200 SATA
    LG 16X DVD +/-RW dual layer
    ATI AIW 9600XT (Swapping from my present PC)

    The main issue I am having now is the MOBO. I am committed to the ATI AIW card (8X AGP) and will probably go with an ASUS MOBO. This leaves me with two options:

    Asus P5S800-VM socket 775 SIS 661FX video DDR 400 (SIS chipset)
    or
    Asus P5VD1-X (Via chipset)


    Please comment on which is better and whether either is more likely to be happy with my ATI AIW 9600XT card.

    One final note -- I would be willing to purchase a different brand Mobo, but I would like to hear some suggestions of a decent mid?-range (i.e. $60-$90 US dollars) board that supports 8X AGP (and, of course, is compatible with my AIW)

    I have no idea how to work this website, I currently have a worm or trojan which reads the following "The instruction at "0x75606eb5" referenced memory at "0x00000008", The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program"

    Can you please help???
