I don't do 3D gaming, so chances are I'll be perfectly content with
Intel integrated graphics. My experience with restricted graphics
drivers has been pretty bad in the past so I hesitate to go down that
road again.

I have on-board sound and wireless that works out of the box on this
mobo. There is an equivalent board from ASUS which has on board
sound/video (Intel GMA 3100) which is now sounding like a better deal.
I can always add a PCI wireless card for wifi.

Now if I can only find a motherboard which has wifi/on board intel
graphics and sound.
